A flashing Check Engine Light in a 2007 Mazda CX7 means that at least one of the engines cylinders is mIS Firing. This could occur when an ignition coil is bad or a spark plug is failing. Other possible reasons could be an electrical issue such as a short or a computer issue. Another potential cause of mIS Fires is a timing issue such as a damaged timing gear. When the light starts flashing the car will go into limp mode. This mode shuts down all non essential components and reduces the speed of the car to protect it from further damage. If possible, drive the car to a repair shop immediately to have it inspected to find the exact cause for the mIS Fires.

If your "check engine light" makes an appearance in your 2007 mazda cx7 it may indicate a loose gas cap or a more serious issue like a failed o2 sensor, a larger emissions leak or problems with your vehicle's catalytic converter.
