flashing "service engine soon" light
what does it mean when the SES light flashes on you? I had it happen on the dyno and then today it happened while doing a 4th gear pull on the expressway.
I have heard that it is a spark issue......but an infiniti tech told me it only flashes when impending doom is near.
anyone have some other ideas?

no.. I checked the codes and I only had the P0300....and this happened in 4th gear on the highway. I happened up high....over 6200 rpm. I am going to gap the plugs down and see if that helps......I have the NGKs 1 step colder Iridiums. I checked the gap on another set of them. I was surpsired that they are approx. .045" IIRC, they are listed as being .042". I checked with 2 different feeler gauges, too.

In your case, it might be worth a shot, in gapping them down slightly, so see if it solves the mysterious flashing CEL.
