This has to do with voltage falling too low for "Keep Alive Memory" (or KAM) to the PCM. First check the battery voltage, terminals etc. After that it could be anywhere in the wiring harness. See the link below for add'l help

2002 Mercury sable misfiring only on cylinder 3

Can't believe some the lame answers here. Anyone having this issue check the PCV hose where it attaches too the air intake, the rubber breaks down and develops a leak. But these engines also have wiring issues that causes crankshaft sensor to fail at startup or under 1000 rpms causing the computer to shoot a code and trigger the engine light. I have these issue cause the above problem.

2002 mercury sable DOHC check engine light

A flashing light indicates that the engine is misfiring enough to damage the catalytic converter, this needs attention ASAP, otherwise after the misfiring is repaired, you will be buying a new catalytic converter, the damage may have already been done. as for the p1633 has the battery run low and you had to jump it off, or recharge the battery?
