My check engine flashes on and off when i accelerate. It seems to happened more when engine gets hot (thats when it shifts like **** as well), But it happens when i take off slow and fast, and it also does it when i drop upper gears and get on it a little. Any ideas?

Please see the link in my signature and check the codes. It only takes a short jumper and the ignition key. If you see the CHECK ENGINE light illuminate, there is something wrong with the engine control system and the engine computer is trying to tell you about it. Let it. Read the codes.

If the CEL came on, the computer should have stored the relevent code(s).

Go run a KOEO PCM Quick Test.

You don't need a tester, just a paper clip. The hardest thing about pulling codes was getting the damn "eec-IV test here" plastic cover off!
