-takes two turns to start -takes off very slowly -slipping intermittently between 1st and 2nd -drops out of gear when you floor it, but doesnt accelerate -randomly loses speed at 70, drops to top speed 50 (lots of fun on the highway) -gets hot in the cab, hot under the hood, but gauges dont show overheating -humming sound under passengers side floor -slight smell, could just be me -really low sounding acceleration noise, heard it referred to as "bogging out"
When the car warms up and you have driven it until you start to experience the "problems", park it, leave it running and check under the car and see if your catalytic converter is glowing red. If so you have a clogged catalytic converter. You could check a second time after you turn the car off and see if it is glowing red also or have it tested at a muffler shop. Also check your muffler and your exhaust. Look (car off) and then with the car on check the exhaust to see if it is flowing.
I would say your exhaust converter is worn out & blocking
the exhaust from getting out & since you continued to wonder ,
verses actually having the car tested,that you now have ruined the transmission

No use what's in there, but have the engine de-carboned by a Ford dealer, or remove the octane adjust shorting bar located near the ignition module (retards timing 2 degrees), this will in most cases cure the issue unless there is allot of carbon in the cylinders. There are also methods of ing this de-carbon procedure at home, check on the internet for tips.

The blinking overdrive button is telling u that a serious fault has occurred in the electronic controls or a mechanical fault such as excess slippage is occurring.

have you tried having your fuel injectors cleaned on it. the engine might not be getting enough gas at take off. it might also be that your gas tank fuel pump or the other fuel pump going bad
