I hate to say but when mine did that it was time for a rebuild. The clutch plates were slipping. I did add a bottle of Lucas stop slip stuff to get me home but it was only a temp fix.

The flashing OD light means a code has been stored in the PCM telling what the PCM sees as out of spec. You need someone with the right kind of scan tool to read the codes. The places that read codes free can't read these codes.

I forgot to add that when it happened to me I just used my old superchip code reader to reset the code to get going again or I would have been in limp mode. But like Mark said, you need a good scanner to read the 'deep codes'.
