When the engine misfires get bad enough to dammage the cat converter the light flashes. You have to get to the bottom of this soon or buy expensive emission parts. My GTP would throw this code when the egr valve stayed slightly open because of carbon on it. But in your case it might be 6 fuel injectors time. Replace the fuel filter just ahead of the left rear wheel often too. Cannot have sediment up in the fuel rail. Fuel trim readings and freeze frame data will tell if the engine is actuall running lean. as will a p0171 code

A tank of bad gas also can trip a code. So can filling my tank while the engine is running, never a good idea anyway.

A flashing light usually means you are doing catastrophic damage to your catalytic converter - a very expensive repair that could have been avoided if you had dealt with the misfire problem when it first occurred.
