I am experiencing intermittent power loss problems, The overdrive indicator light constantly one flash every second and half, for the whole time that I am driving.
Could it be cataylitic convertor?
Thanks

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
Check
engine light comes on and off, these are indication that there is some
error code stored in your vehicles ECM. The engine module computer
needs to be scanned. These will give the code and as per the error code the
further problem can be detected and confirmed. The engine light
indicator blinks or remains steady on dash when engine computer
noticed any problem with any engine electrically operated components.
For
more help, I suggest you to refer the help links provided below. These will let
you know more about which areas to look, check, when there is engine light
coming up on dash panel.
