Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I ran my 2005 Cadillac STS with low oil. For some
reason it keeps burning. Now when I try to pick up
speed I'm not getting full power and the check
engine light is blinking. Any help would be greatly
appreciated

Are you topping off the oil? Better get the trouble codes read so you can address what is causing the light to blink.

Yes once I realized the oil was low again I topped it off. Starts up fine and idles fine but when you try to pick up speed doesn't get full power and service engine light starts to Blink

The light blinking is a warning that something could damage the engine or emissions system. Get the codes read and address the cause(s) right away. Post the codes here and I will try to help.

I took it to AutoZone to have the codes read but they can't do it because the check engine light doesn't stay blinking it only blinks when are pushing the gas in the car is moving

Cylinder 2,4 and 6 missing. I would first suspect bad spark plugs but it could be bad coils. I would start by installing new plugs. Note what the old ones look like.
