A flickering check engine light with a rough idle on your Chery Arrizo 5 usually points to an active misfire.
Here’s what to check first and whether it’s safe to keep driving.
If your Chery Arrizo 5 has a check engine light that flickers or flashes intermittently while the idle stumbles, shakes, or feels like it’s about to stall, you’re dealing with a classic active misfire. In plain terms, one or more cylinders aren’t burning fuel properly. The flickering light is the car’s way of saying, “This isn’t a loose gas cap — fix me now.”
