Some engine problems

Ok so yestruday I rev'd my engine and coolant blew all over the place. Found the busted hose. But now it idles really hard, and when I give it gas it bogs and churns. The CEL is blinking. Is this a dead engine? A blown rotor? Or just some limp mode or something else. Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks,

blinking check engine light would indicate the limp mode is active.

Two ways to get out of limp mode:

1. 100mg of Viagra should do the trick for you.

2. Disconnect battery for a couple of hours of Viagra doesn't work.
