misfire
go get an OBD reader and look at the stored code. misfires blink when a misfire is detected. you are looking for a P0300,301,302 or 303 code for misfire. |

It's under warranty still, isn't it? Take it to the dealer.

all i've done is put in MI springs.. could it have to do with the fact that i need an alignment?

Did you not take advantage of the one free alignment from Toyota?

assuming everything on car is correct - it's the MIL and likely a misfire
assuming misinterpretation: low brake fluid or low washer fluid + inertia vs sensor |

I know the first time I saw my Maintenance Required light come on, I freaked. I was so used to seeing the CEL light come on on my old Cavalier, I have now become paranoid when any light comes on.
