When the check engine light is flashing it means that the computer has detected a misfire in the engine.It is not good to drive a vehicle that has a flashing check engine light; one or more sensor in your vehicle is advise about an code fault. I suggest scanning for know what code is in there and solve it.In some vehicles, a red check-engine light means the car needs absolute immediate attention while a yellow check-engine light means you need to make an appointment soon. The light is used to indicate PCM (Powertrain Control Module) problems that are associated with your vehicle's emissions system.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.

Could be a lot of things. First check to see if any vacuum lines have been disconnected because of the backfiring. Next scan the computer to see what codes are in the system.

change the coded solenoid and the reset the ECM and after a few days read the fault codes again

Disconnected what line?

1st of all did your gas mileage drop? If It's an O2 sensor your gas mileage will be about half. If the car is running normally but you can't get the check engine Light off, It may be Simple. Most cars these days have an Oil Life Sensor that needs to be reset after Oil Changes. Turn your Key On , But Do not START. Pump your Accelerator to the Floor 3 Times In 10 Seconds and turn the key off. Start It up Again And See if that was it.

PLEASE ADD DIAGNOSTICS PERFORMED UP TO THIS POINT ON HOW YOU CAME TO YOUR CONCLUSION

Usually on one end of the fuel rail. It'll have a vacuum line plugged into it.
