Filled it up before this happened? Need to stop filling at first click of handle. The extra fuel might have backed up into canister system causing the issue. Not sure just a thought. Have cel codes read to know more about what happened. A blinking cel is not a good thing. When it's blinking you should turn engine off before possible major damage.
