No Overdrive when its hot out.....

started driving around town and it was fine, after awhile in town I got to a stop light and I see the wait to start and water in fuel light come on, as I start to drive the lights start to flicker more and more as speed increases every time after a stop it would do this except when its not acting up.

eventually it would go into OD and stay for a bit then come out and the lights will start to flicker again

when it would finally go into OD, if I hit the OD button or step on the pedal and kick it out of OD the lights would come on and it will not go in for awhile

when I drove it at night and its cool out its fine... does not skip a beat

I have the exact same problem. Really edit you off when it is hot out. Cruising on the freeway is fine just don't slow done or those lights turn on. I sure hope somebody can help us out with this problem.

Sound like PCM trouble. Clean the connector at the PCM.

Don't expect miracles, you may be buying a PCM.
