my car starts fine but when driving it wont kick into overdrive (gets to 50 to 60km/h and then need to give it a boot full to make it go) and also sometimes it stalls when placed from reverse into drive its a 1998 el ford fairmont ghia with auto transmission any advice on what the problem could be

Have you checked the the usual things, plugs, leads, fuel filter, fuel pump?
How is the timing? Condition of the Dizzy/Cap/Rotor Button? MAP Sensor? O2 Sensor? Collapsed Cat? |

JUST READ THIS COULD BE THE PROBLEM I THINK as i only had the transmission service done mid september were can i find the TPS and stuff
if the throttle position sensor (TPS) fails, the transmission will shift erratically & may not shift to overdrive (torque converter will not lock) if a solenoid or temp sensor fails the transmission wont function correctly & may result in the ecu switching to "limp mode" ie: stays in 3rd gear.....you can purchase service kits from Burson Auto Parts for around $20 NOTE: (1) selector shaft seal part #P6042...requires 2 seals, 1 behind the selector actuator & 1 behind the inhibitor switch. NOTE: (2) there are two rear seal types available, boot & non boot, the easiest seal to fit with good results is part #P6231 non boot type for around $5 from repco or bearing & seal retailers. scotty69u wrote: SWC wrote: How long have you had the car? i've owned it for just over 2years |

Why don't you start by checking the PCM for codes?
There is info on how to check for codes in the tech docs in the top navi bar... If something electronic has failed the PCM will tell you what... If you get no codes then look for something mechanical... Cheers, Tim

Throttle position sensor is a main input to transmission shift control. If it is sending no signal, I can't imagine what the ECU is telling the transmission to do - probably some sort of limp mode.
