I am currently borrowing a car from the mechanic. I have had it for almost a month and when accelerating fast today my check engine light started blinking for a few seconds but disappeared when I stopped accelerating quickly. Could I have caused this problem over a month or is it possible the car was already in bad shape? It's a 2008 Ford fiesta. I'm panicking a bit that I destroyed the car somehow lol. Thanks

Are you saying when I plug something in that I purposefully unplugged to cause a misfire will stop said misfire

Good way to ruin the coil, you might get away with it if it's a waste spark system otherwise big no no
