I could be wrong, but it sounds as though either your torque converter is slipping, or you have very low fluid pressure in your tranny. I do a little R & R work for a friend in the transmission business on the weekends, and had that very same problem myself with a 95 Probe I used to own. You see, if your torque converter clutch is begining to loosen, fluid in the transaxle does not circulate well, and the tranny begins to overheat, hence your o/d light bgins to flash, and should set a failure code. Another symptom is poor fuel mileage, and sometimes a fuel odor.
