Bought this car from a reputable used car dealer in September 2010. Acura 3.2TL with 60,000 miles on it for $10,500 in near new condition. Sounds great. Four weeks later, the transmission had to be rebuilt (at which point I did more research on that model and discovered the extended warranty issues and recalls :angry: ). Well the dealer paid to get the tranny rebuilt, and so far, the car is running great *fingers crossed* Only thing is now, when the car is started, the check engine light will flash for a few seconds after all the other light go off; then it goes off and stays off. There is no code in the OBD. Heard it might mean that the oil needs changing but that did not fix the blinking light. Has anyone run into this before?

Maybe your pcm needs to be reset, or you got a wiring problem.

Technically, the blinking check engine light means your car is polluting as far as engine performance..
But you say the light goes off so i believe its a wiring OR PCM ISSUE...
