Default 98 civic CEL blinking

Hello,

The CEL light is blinking in my girlfriends civic and she claims that it is acting "sluggish." I was curious if anyone had any ideas of what this might mean?

Thanks,

Do as Mundy suggests. The blinking CEL indicates misfires sufficiently severe to damage the catalytic converter.
