Q: have a 2002 Ford F150 the over drive light is flashing on and off and the truck isn't catching speed when taking off
I have a 02 Ford f 150 and we took it for a drive about 100 miles straight and all of sudden it wasn't catching speed and the over drive light was flashing. so we turned around and took about another 100 mile drive back home and now the light is still flashing and it barley wants to take off to catch speed. after a while the transmission kicks in and then it catches speed as long as I don't have to stop. when I stop I barley wants to take off.
My car has an automatic transmission.
