Blinking Check Engine Light at idle.
OK I have an 04 TL Auto with 171k on it. Occasionally I get a Blinking Check Engine Light I though it may have been my fuel pump but I don't think that's it.
It would happen about every 2-3 months.There is no loss of power before or after the blinking engine light.Read codes and it says cylinder miss fire. I replaced a coils and plugs with Acura parts in June of this year. I love this car but I think this may be the end of the line for her. I'M hopping it's simple. Almost forgot that about a year ago my timing belt broke due to a pulley seizing on me. Had a new one put in and it was fine. I put almost 10k on it after the new belt.

You might have a plugged catalyst or both causing the issue. Use a can of seafoam through the vac line on the top of the engine and it should help it out.
