HELP Q: About car

[Maddiek]

I drive a 2005 Cadillac CTS . My check engine light started blinking then stopped. A couple days later My car started making a noise, when I press the gas pedal it seems to get worse then when just on and sitting. When it is on and sitting a strong smell of gas starts . What could be the issue ??

You should post this in the garage forum. Might have a dead cylinder, and raw gas is being sent out the exhaust.

go to a garage and get it diagnosed with an ODB2 reader

Op should go directly to a garage. Doesn't sound like a diy person.

Correct. Flashing CEL means stop driving and fix it.

Why register with Anandtech as a new member just to post about a Cadillac problem? There are actual Cadillac discussion forums out there.

Sure sounds like a misfire to me, but there's more than one reason that could be happening.
