Continuously flashing MIL always indicates a misfire, it has no other meaning.

If it wasn't doing that before the repair, then check whatever you touched. I know on some Pathies it's possible to get certain coil connectors swapped, I'd start there.

Any luck solving the check engine light?

Mine is doing this. I just replaced all the spark plugs. I’m hoping replacing the ignition coil on #6 solve this issue
