I have a 1997 ford probe gt 6 cylinder. The over drive light keep flickering over drive off and then check engine light stays on for days. I had this checked out and the tps throttle position sensor check out bad so I had this replaced. This problem still exist. I went to several service stations they all say I don't know. I would just ignore this but the slows down to lower gear this is scary. I love this ford probe is there anything I can do. I found a sight on the internet and relayed a intercooling for the trans, is this correct!!!

The automatic transmission (cd4e) has been acting up, overdrive light on dash starts flashing whih then causes harsh shifting and power loss in tranny and engine. I have read hundreds of complaints about these transmissions and believe it should be the responsibility of the manufacturer to take care of these problems.

Engine problems since owning car. Car cranks but won't start. Has happened too many times to count since I've owned the car. The incident date I chose was the first time it happened. It happened the first time 2 months after a recall repair had been done and has continued until today. The vehicle component I chose is a guess since the problem has never been determined. Many things have been replaced but the problem persists.
