Is your "check engine" light on? Sounds like a couple of different
problems. How many miles? Has the transmission fluid ever been changed?
Is it full?

If the service history is like described, 200kmiles, youre lucky if it starts..

- Change Filter(s) & plugs, mentioned A/T oil
- Bad Throttle Pos Sensor TPS affects tranny & cold engine, possibly like described
- IACV idle adj valve becomes dirty 'after 80kmiles', needs cleanup
- Bad Mass AirFlow sensor MAF
- After those, run self diag w a tester. For info follow link(s) below..

When you say "Also the  OVERDRIVE comes up" what exactly do you mean?
Does it start to flash?

Run diagnostics for Engine & Tranny. What error codes comes out?

Some say autozone does this free on some areas... But if u seriously want to be ont top of your vehicles service in the future, purchase a tester
