sounds more like a faulty connection, the paperclip test wont work for this as your Ecu wont store a fault unless the EM is on for 30seconds+.

just check all your sensors and see if any of them have damed wires/plugs etc

yeah it flickers all the time when the car is running. when it flickers it is dimly lit i.e the light is not as bright as it is when the ignition is switched on
