When trouble codes are present, the MIL need not be on to retrieve them. Intermittent flashing on and off could be due to a faulty ECU, ground circuits or wiring.

Check the compression, sparks plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor and fuel injectors. Ensure there are o vacuum leaks at the manifold for # 1 cylinder.
