Default Check Engine Light 1,800-2,000 rpms

I have a 92 GT that is basically stock and every time I hit 1,800-2,000 rpms in every gear my check engine light blinks on and off. Doeas anyone might know what might be causing this or have any suggestions. It doesen't do this when I'm in neutral, only when in gear. I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.

Check o2 sensor, usually it only comes on with emissions related things, or get a code reader (if they have them for that year...)

A blinking CEL is indication of a severe knock or misfire. If it turned on and stayed on then I would suggest an O2 sensor like someone mentioned.

Check your cap, rotor, plugs and wires. I'm guessing you may have a something that is cracked or worn and causing the misfire. That is why it only happens under a load and not in nuetral.
