I just got my car back from my paint job. I noticed there was alot of dust from the overspray and all. However, when I turned on my car, my overdrive light keeps blinking. What is that?

Second, my miles per hour arrow goes crazy. Even if I just turn on my car the miles per hour goes from 0 - 60 back down to 0 then up to 140 then back down and then it does not move at all. My odometer, the one that counts each mile is moving by itself. I know my cluster was in good working condition. It also affected my transmission. My car will rev up high and the car won't move even with the car rolling, almost like the tranny isnt catching. So i started with L then moved my way up to 2 then back to drive, then it starts moving. but it seems like my car is downshifting almost like someone is turning off my overdrive.

Do you guys think that my intake or injectors got dirty from sucking in all that dust? Can I use injector cleaner?

Overall, this is a bad experience for me especially when all these things were working before I dropped it off. Maybe the body men were messing around with my car. I just hope someone out here can assist me figure this out. I'd appreciate alot.

your overdrive light is blinking because it give you a tranny code,I would look it up see what it is I think someone should have a code list. second issue sounds like a miss connection somewhere. I would have a tech look at it and then take it back to the place you paint and say my car work fine when I brought it in now it not. either make them fix the problem or have they pay your local tech to fix it.

This is a long shot your said it drive normal the next day did at any time did just not move when you press on the gas? I would check that code it could be a soloiend code that they could of unplug one or both of them. like the other person said it not injection problem. get a flashlight and look down where the tranny dipstick rod start (only name I could think of) there will be three connection down there one in the middle and two behind it the one behind are your soliend cables check to see if not unplug. Hope this help just going by what happen with my old tranny
