My 97 expedition only drives in reverse and not forward

My o/d light would blink on and off sometimes. When i would put it in reverse it would kick in right away. But when i put it in drive it doesnt go right away. i would have to floor it and step on the accelerator so it can kick in. I need help on why this is happening. I checked the trans fluid and it has the right amount

Get your car to a transmission shop right away! You may have not damaged it beyond repair, but you will soon if you keep doing what you say you're doing to it.

SOURCE: 1999 Ford Windstar, idles rough, slow acceleration

sounds like a large vacuum hose was knocked off the engine when they pulled the trans out, have that checked.

SOURCE: 2003 ford expedition , missing while accelerating

most likely cause is a defective ignition coil, there is one for each cylinder (coil over plug), the dealer will have to test it to determine which of the eight coils is the source of the miss. the coils are about $60 each

SOURCE: over drive light on shifter blinks and check engine light is lit.

You need to have it scanned for codes. The flashing overdrive light means it has trouble codes that pertain to the transmission.

You can try shifting into manual 1 to get moving then once you get going shift the lever up into Drive. This should work, then drive it to a shop to have your ****** looked at.

My 97 z71 wont shift from 4wd back into 2wd

sometimes you have to reverse for it to kick out of four wheel drive. Make sure you put the truck into neutral before you switch out of four wheel drive into two wheel drive. If that doesn't work, your transmission might be sticking.
