I'll be the first to admit I know jackshit about cars. I know how to drive. I know how to change the oil and keep the fluids topped off, etc etc etc.
But to actually know what's wrong with a car? Nope, not a chance.
Sooo, I'm driving home from the grocery store and I notice the "Check Engine" light starts to flicker and then go solid. There's no weird noises. No whines or wurrs or whathaveyou. I just had the oil changed.
Seriously? What good is the "check engine" light if you really don't have the money to take it into a shoppe to have it looked at?

i'm betting on gas cap or O2 sensor. i can't remember what your car is though, which shames me.
my hearse used to have the check enine light come on like that because the wiring for it was tangled around the steering column and it kept shorting out, mind...

Checked the gas cap after I got prompted to do so. Nope it was on tight.

get yerself a manual for the car - you've got a logical mind. you can almost certainly google to find out a way of reading fault codes from light flashes.
