Fiesta Zetec 1.4 2003.

Hi All. A few times recently, I noticed my engine was misfiring at low
revs. No surprises there, since it's very damp here, right now; but the
last time it did it, I noticed the engine warning light flashing for a few
seconds.

Does this mean something's about to break, or is it somehow detecting the
misfire, and telling me to change down a gear?

Well, it could be pre-igniting, I guess. Or shouldn't it flash then,
either? It only happens when I'm kind of labouring it a bit. I don't
overdo it, really; and I know I shouldn't do it, but it hates changing down
into second if you're not going really slow.

You're owner's manual should have the exact info. Usually a flashing a
light means that you need to do something now. In the US, a flashing
check engine light means stop and have it fixed immediately.

idk what jeff is talking about... a check engine light can mean nearly ANYTHING... it doesn't even always mean somethings wrong...

as for the misfiring you do have soemthing wrong, but that doesn't mean that itll be really expensive... you should really take it to a authorized service rep, so they can pull the codes, and figure out exactly what the problem is...
