The flashing is telling you that the engine is mis-firing, the dealer will run a test to determine the cylinder that is mis-firing, chances are it is something simple

I was just reading the owners manual for my 2000 beetle and it says the diesel fuel has a problem with the wax separating from it below 40 degrees. Put the car in a warm garage and it will start.

I have a 2001 Durango with the 4.7 and had the same problem. I changed the Throttle Positioning Sensor, and it has been good ever since.
