Good choice it's ok to drive one if light is just on but if check engine light is flashing turn car off ASAP. Have a good mechanic check it out.

it means severe engine problems are occuring that may result in Catalytic Converter damage. A misfire WILL cause the CEL to blink. But so can other problems. You should stop driving it and have the code checked.
