what code does it show? Nobody can help you if you don't help yourself.

First thing you need to do is read the code off the computer.( The blinking engine light)

Do a search for how to grab the code. It is involving the diagnostic box( litlle square black box on driver side shock tower) You need to ground a couple of wires in that box. ( That's what you need to search for, don't remember the colors off the top of my head.
Then count the # of blinks, match the correct code in the service manual. Then go to that location ( part) and start testing/replacing what is needed

^^^ There are the colors in the previous post
