whenever accelerating to about 3500 rpms all of the sudden the check engine light starts flashing and then it goes off also during that period of time that it is flashing you can feel a misfire-like problem. taken it to the ford techs and no problem at all they say (yea right) but private shops say its a misfire on cylinder 2 or oxygen sensors.

When accelerating hard, the engine light starts flashing. According to the manual this means there was a serious issue, and it says the light will continue to blink until fixed. Well, this has happened several times, and it seems that within a couple of minutes each time, the light goes off. During the period of the light flashing, there is a sluggish feeling to the car. That got me really worried the first time it happened, but it all seems to be back to normal in minutes.
