Flashing OD light plus engine cuts out 94 E150

Hi, I have found a lot of information regarding the flashing OD light on Fords but none that are the same as what I have. One day the van was driving fine and the next as soon as it revs up, even in park, the OD light starts blinking and the engine shudders and will not rev. If you cycle the key off it will rev for a few seconds. I disconnected the battery to reset things but did it right away again. When you first start it up it idles fine, no blinking until you step on the gas. The check engine light does not come on. This thing will not even pull itself on my ramps. Help! Thanks.

You have to get the codes read to find out what's wrong. You can do it with a paper clip, no code reader required. There are instructions on the 'net. Google is your friend.

So even if the check engine light is not on there will be codes? The OD light does not flash until you rev it up. Each time you restart it is the same, no flashing, nice idle until you rev it up.

The OD light and the check engine light are separate. The check engine light tells you when there are engine codes. The OD light tells you there are transmission codes.
