is the car staying below 3000-4000rpms, if yes, then it is in limp mode.

A flashing check engine light could mean a stuck fuel injector, too much fuel getting to the cat.

the computer, makes it so the car can only be driven very easily, like to get you home. It will not let the revs go above 3-4k rpms. It knows from the sensors that there is a problem.
