Hi,

If the check engine light is flashing, that indicates a misfire. I realize you replaced the valve cover gasket and other sensors. However, the problem could be related to a coil, a spark plug, compression issues, and so on. If you replaced the valve cover, was there oil in the spark plug wells? If so, did you inspect the rubber boots on the coils to make sure they are not damaged? Also, if there was enough oil to cause a problem, it may have damaged the coil pack.

What are the codes you retrieved when the computer was scanned? Also, if I recall, the ignition coils are part of the module. See pic below. Let me know if that is correct.

Let me know.

Hi,

Thanks for the update. What valve did you replace? I'm hoping it was something simple.

Regardless, I'm glad you got it taken care of. Feel free to come back anytime in the future.

Take care,

Joe
