I think the blinking lite is warning you of possible converter damage, the engine is getting overfueled, if you're confident the ignition system including the primary side are working look for a leaking injector, Is it missing? You may need to hook into a scanner.

Sounds like I’ll have to use a code scanner. It’s odd the car was great before the trip. I did find water leak I assumed it shorted out the coil wires.
