The engine light is flashing because the o2 sensors are sensing the misfire is causing raw fuel to come through the exhaust and can damage the exhaust or engine.

So clearly it is important to figure this out so that the damage is not done.

Here is a guide that will get us started:

Also, we are going to have to check the compression on this cylinder and a couple others just to get a baseline.

Let us know what questions you have and what you find. Thanks
