Hey guys, couple days ago my check engine light came on. It was flashing in increments of two, then went away. Never came back on. Should I worry or investigate?

thats what keeps happening to me everytime its more than a line or two, coils I think it is, the past owner said he replaced 3, but I can''t really tell which ones. Any way to test them with a multimeter or anything

My car did the same thing, two of my coils went bad. Replaced them and replaced the spark plugs with Bosch Platinum
