Blinking Service Engine Light

Today at about 9:30 PM when I started my car. It started flashing the service engine light. I read about that being knocking, but i mostly saw that that was happening when going through gears. Has this happened to anyone else? Oh and the car just got serviced yesterday.
Thanks,
Shane

If your car is tuned, and the MIL has been set to flash for knock your getting knock. If your car has not been tuned, or set to flash for knock, the only reason the MIL flashes for OBD II cars is to indicated the car is misfiring.

My car has been tuned so I'll definitely give my tuner a call. But the thing is before the motor is even running it starts flickering. Like when I just turn on the electronics. Thanks for the quick info.
