Your light for the overdrive is probably flashing from the transmission shifting in and out of overdrive? But to your power problem,It could be your cataylitic convertor. You should have a check engine light on with a fault code associated with it.Manuf are all different but it should say, Cat efficiency below minimum which comes from the rear oxygen sensor. The only way for you to check would be to drop the exhaust forward of the cat and then drive the car around the block to see if the power returns. Sometimes if you take a rubber hammer and hit the Cat you can hear the broken material inside jumping up and down. One thing I would check first before replacing it is by govt standard it is warrantied up to 80k. call the dealer and run your VIN number they can tell you if it is still under warranty. Even if the car is not.Hope that helps..Mark

Overdrive indicator light flashes after five minutes drive. Nothing strange about the gear and the engine except that the overdrive blinking is annoying. The only way not to see the blinking overdrive...

This is indicating an issue with the transmission that should not be ignored. The flashing light was designed to annoy you into action. Waiting could cost you a lot more money. I would get the error codes by asking my local shop to get them, or many chain auto stores offer free code reading, just ask. I was at AutoZone a few weeks ago and got the codes, and they printed them off for me, in addition to recommendations as to the cause.
Best case scenario is just a reset is necessary (computer perhaps). You don't want to be stuck on the side of the road, so it's good to find out.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

If the "overdrive off" light is flashing, this indicates an error condition in the transmission ECU.

There is a diagnostics procedure you can follow, but it is a bit too long to go in to here. Try and track down a copy of the Toyota service manual, number RM315E (searching the ih8mud forums is a good start) and follow the procedure in there for reading the fault codes.

1994 toyota paseo: overdrive problem

I would start with replacing your tranny fluid. black is no good. your tranny should hold about 7 qts of fluid. The tranny fluid runs through your radiator to help keep it cool. If your thermostat is stuck closed your eng coolant won't circulate and the coolant will get hotter inside your radiator. thus making your tranny fluid hotter and breaking it down. After time it will turn black from getting too hot. Let your car warm up to normal operating temperture then grab your upper radiator hose. It should be very warm. If not your thermostat is stuck closed.

1994 toyota paseo: overdrive problem

does it loose heat when you set still? is it full of coolent? whats the climent like were you at? is trans. low on fluid?when was the last time trans. was serviced? i know on most cars and trucks low fluid or old fluid can cause it to do what your saying, and also cold weather. some cars have a temp.sensor that won't let it shift into overdrive until car gets to a certain temp. with your temp. guage fluctuating the two could be related. has your service engine light ever come on and then went out, when it did this? if it ever has, have it scaned and see what codes show up. it might be that temp sensor i talked about. well thats the best i can do for you RON hope it helps or at least point you in the right direction to cure your problem. OLD SCHOOL.

2004 Toyota Sienna, a/c light flashes with system running

The AC light will flash if the AC compressor "Revolution Sensor" is compromised.
This is the only reason that the AC light will flash. Best advice: Replace the AC revolution sensor. It is bolted onto the side of the compressor. Best to have a professional do this, as loss of the refrigerant may occur when it is removed. Hope this helps, and thanks for choosing FixYa. The graciousness of a FixYa rating would be most appreciated.
