Almost seems like the fuel line is clogged or something.
The flashing service engine light blinking indicates a Catalytic converter damaging event is happening , a misfire ! Don't driver it like that ,you don't want to have to buy a catalytic converter ! They can cost as much as 1,000 dollars . Flashing Check Engine Light CarMD
Listen to Jeff. The cats on my 03 Crown Vic were $2500 at the dealership.

This exact same thing happened to me....it ended up being the Mass Airflow Sensor. Replaced that and it has not happened since.

Hello,
your problem appears to be the idle control motor located on the air intake manifold it is a small motor that goes bad quite often. Other items that can cause this is a bad /clogged air filter or a tune up (spark plugs and wires), or clogged fuel injectors. to clean the injectors you can buy a container of fuel system cleaner and pour it into the gas tank and as you drive it cleans the system.
Once the fuel system is cleaned via a tankful of cleaner & gas then the idle controller motor would be next on the list to be replaced.
Good Luck !

Are there codes in the transmission computer? Likely the torque converter clutch is not disengaging or a holding member with the transmission could not be releasing. this could be caused by a faulty shift solenoid or a mechanical failure with the transmission. Check to ensure the transmission shift properly under all conditions. Also, stall test the torque converter, put it in gear hold the brakes firm and throttle the engine. Generally the torque converter will stall out around or above 2,000 rpm. If it stalls out much lower, check the torque converter clutch solenoid for proper operation.
Again, check the transmission computer for codes. You will need an advanced OBD1 scan tool which can communicate like a hikock scan tool ( ford factory for that era)

if you are worried that your cat is the problem and it may very well be, drop engine pipe down enough maybe half an inch from exh manifold see if that fixes problem .the best way is to use a scanner and monitor o-2 oxygen sensor it will show if it is at fault .regards agwbk
