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?
