Good evening,

The flashing check engine light indicates a misfire. I attached a guide for you below of possible causes.

I would check the fuel pressure to be sure the fuel pump is working correctly.

400 kpa ±34 kpa (58 psi ± 5 psi)

There are 3 types of smoke. Each color indicates something different. I attached all 3 below for you to view.

Hello and thank you for your response. But this is a 2016 Chrysler 200. There is no smoke.
