The transaxle light comes on and the check engine light too. It's fine after the short time it takes to get to speed. What's up with my 2002 Ford?

    Sounds like you may have a transmission problem, seeing as your transaxle light is blinking as well as your check engine light.

    Faulty coil and possibly plugs,might be part of the issue.

    Had mechanic put it on computer and it came up with the code for the torque converter....but on the other hand this same thing happened a couple of years ago and I had tune up done and it stopped.
