Cel Flashing. . .

. . . . I replaced 3 sensors today. MAFS TPS and KS and reset the codes. Drove the car 8 miles and the cel came back on. Yet, this time it started flashing! The white smoke went away when I changed the senors and replaced the intake air hose. How bad is it if the light is blinking?

Did you change them yourself or get the dealer to do it under warranty?

Did you 'Reset' the CEL?

Excuse my ignorance, but what are you talking about? What is a CEL?

As Blackdiamond says, it's the light that should have a £ sign as its identifier cos when it comes on, it's usually gonna cost you big bucks (on an out of warranty car)
