Hi everyone
so I have posted a couple time over the pass few days about my f150 would not start after a few days in the cold but today it started up (thanks to the people who help me with there suggestions). But now that it is running the check engine light is on and when i took it for a drive it feels like it has no power when I push on the gas. Also I smelled gas in my oil. Oh and when the key is in rhe on position the check engine comes on then blinks 7 times then stays on. Is there any advice as to say this is happening or if it will go away.
thanks

 

I have never heard of a late model Ford vehicle actually giving a blinking code with the check engine lite. Are you sure it is not the air bag light or the anti-theft light?

 

No it's the engine light just below the speedometer.

 

The number of times it blinks may not be important, but there may be a real problem with something causing an over fuel condition which could all be tied into why it wouldn't start,and the oil smelling like gasoline. Do you by any chance always try to put as much fuel that it will take into the tank when refueling? If that is the case it could explain why it was hard starting and excess fuel getting into the crankcase. If so we can go from there.
Maybe someone else might have another possible cause.
