Well after coming back from the Masiv KW & C meet here in Kitchener, my Check engine light came on and then started to flash after I down shifted from 5th to 4th, and back into 5th to pass a slower car on the highway. I got off the highway at fairview and pulled into the mall and it went off and has not come back on since.
I know I have had some issues with the car lately with putting my foot down on the gas and the car feeling like it's jerking with I do this in all gears but reverse.
I'm wondering how much it will be to fix these little problems and is it something I can do with out taking it to Ford, with my limited tools ?

perhaps a quick thing to check is the tightness of your battery terminals. i had an intermittent CEL under throttle in my focus and it turned out to be that.

The only time I've made my CEL flash was when I bumped off of my governor on the 401 earlier this year. A solid CEL was actually a improperly tightened gas cap.
Have you done the gauge cluster code trick to see if it's throwing anything?

I never even thought of the gage cluster trick, thanks Nos
