A flashing check engine lamp is an indication of a misfire. Hopefully it's a simple secondary ignition (plugs, wires, coil), but the loud bang suggests you may have a major engine failure.

I was driving home today when I came to a stop light on a somewhat step
slope. When I went to accelerate, there was a loud BANG and that was it. I
drove about another 5 miles when the car started to spudder quite loudly
and I lose a mass amount of acceleration. 2 seconds later the "Check
Engine" light blinked the rest of the 15 miles home. I was scared to drive
because of the spudder and the lack of acceleration. I continued home and
when I stopped in the drive way the car idled but spuddered lightly. It
was dark so I couldn't really check anything. Can someone please help!?

2001 Tiburon, 52,000 miles, Manual.
