I have a 99 chevy suburban .. The service engine soon light has been comming on here lately & sometime blinking .. When it is on steady it misses a lille bit here & there but when it is blinking it misses the whole time it is on blinking .. I know it needs to be hooked up to a computer but does it mean that there is damage being done when it is blinking?

Check engine light on
Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.
