Now my question is the check engine light keeps on flashing off and on doesnt come on coasting or idleing or changing gears. My temp stays around 150-160 oh yeah it has a aftermarket radiator too and the oil temp is on the like the 2nd or 3rd mark from the top idles fine

Go to your local parts store and have them pull the codes. It's free at most places, and it will give us a much better idea of what's going on.
BTW, that's a nice, clean fox you have there.  |

Do the parts stores in your area do OBD I checks? Around here they only do OBD II for you which sucks.

but if the light is flashing off and on will it still read the code if the light is off? It doesnt do it unless your are driving down the road

OBD I is under the hood on the right (Passenger) rear of the engine bay, towards the firewall. It should have some kind of cover on the connector to protect it from the elements.
