Check for vacuum leaks. Check all hoses coming from the engine intake manifold and replace any leaky or suspect hoses. If none, try spraying carb cleaner or ether at the intake manifold gaskets with engine running. If the engine revs, you have a leaky gasket. Let me know if you have more questions.

Check engine light is on constantly

get the engine computer scanned, for free, at any pep boys, advance auto, or auto zone-many others will do it for free as well, just have to ask-then get the actual code (i.e. 'P0171) and come back on here for help.

"Check Engine" light flashed 5 times, then went off.

Stop by your local Advance Auto or O'Reilly Auto parts store. They will lend (Advance Auto) or rent you a Scan Tool to see what error codes have been set in the cars onboard computer. This should help diagnosis what happened when the Check Engine light went. Not sure why it went on then off. They usually stay on until you clear the codes...
