No, trust me, my mechanic told me that if your CEL is flashing then you have serious problem, if it is just on and stays lit then it is still OK to drive.
This site explains it by saying,
"The Check Engine Light (CEL), shown above, will light up on the instrument panel if OBD system notices a problem with the vehicle's emission controls or drivability. The issue should be taken care of promptly, but it is acceptable to drive the vehicle when needed. If the CEL begins to flash, that means there is a serious problem with the powertrain and the problem should be resolved as soon as possible. If the vehicle is driven often with a flashing CEL, damage will be done to the catalytic convertor and emissions system. "

Honda CEL will only flash if in diagnostic mode. I myself am A mechanic and I have seen everything of which you are describing.
I beleive your CEL will give you a code 7 or 4 for IAT (I may be wrong on the exact code number)
Your map sensor is located above your throttle body, not on the intake tube, so it is unlikely that your map is the problem. With what you have described, your problems are most likely related to your IAT (Intake Air Temperature) sensor which is the sensor located within the intake tube.
