When I am driving and start to slow down to turn i get a flashing engine light, it started to happen when I would go down hills and now it's doing it when i turn.

Anyone have an idea if what could cause this?

What rig do you have? You may have a wire that moves and grounds out. Is your oil level good? If your oil pressure drops too low the engine light may come on as well.

2000 xj, and it showing a misfire, low oil would throw that code?

I just replaced the tps and same problem, I load tested the battery and tested the alt and they are both fine.

Low oil pressure would trigger the Check Gauge light, not the CEL.

What are the exact codes? Misfires on your year could be a number of issues. The codes help narrow down the causes. Basic info is always good- what kind of mileage, any other issues, when was the last time you put plugs on it, which plugs, etc etc.

But that still would describe the no idle situation, it has a brand new tps and iac and I just barely cleaned the throttle body too

It's 2000xj with a swap from a 98 xj with 80k on it, I swapped over all of the electronics the intake manifold and exhaust manifold, new plugs were added when swapped about a month ago, unsure of brand just got them at the parts store.
