Service engine soon light blinking

Hello all,I have a 02 f-150 xl 4.6. 4x4 with 90,000 miles. This morning on my way to work my engine seemed to be running a little rough and I had no power and it felt like the clutch is slipping but it’s a newer clutch ,I stopped and checked fluids. All was good. Still had no power but I continued to work,about 1/2 mile before the parking lot the service engine soon light came on and was blinking,haven’t been able to check air flow or anything else. Not super knowledgeable on these trucks. Any suggestions?

A flashing check engine light indicates a severe misfire that has the potential to damage the catalytic converters quickly.

You need to 1) get the PCM scanned for the fault codes so you know where to start and 2) limit driving it as much as possible to reduce the odds of converter damage.
