The check engine light flashes to tell you to stop driving it before you do severe damage. You will have to start with retrieving the stored trouble codes and go from there.

You should test the fuel pressure. Advance Auto and Auto Zone loan out the test kit to performa a fuel pressure check. The test fitting is on the fuel rail which is above the injectors.
