disconnect neg battery from battery terminal for more than 1 minute. then re-connect. that's it.
It should go away in time if that indeed was the problem.
By the way, I hope you didn't drive to much while the CEL was flashing.
Contrary to what people have said if the code was P0300-P0304 then that means it was a random mis-fire or cylinder misfir detected. When it flashes that means that cylinder is misfiring more than 2% of the time per 1,000rpms. This can cause damage to yout catalytic convertor (if you still have it installed).
This happened to me, but I didn't pull over since I have no cat to damage, but make sure you didn't damage your cat otherwise you will be back with another thread stating "CEL came back"
