Goto autozone and have them pull the codes from the ecu. then post them here if they get any.

 

flashing light is notice for 90k check, owners manuel tells how to shut it off. Airfilter may be cause of hesitation. Flashing light will soon turn to solid on, and stay on. No panic. (key on, press the right milage reset and hold, light will go off. ). Enjoy the car, its a good one.
