Make sure you have enough automatic transmission fluid. That usually seems to be the problem when the O/D light blinks on my '97 Ranger. I think I read somewhere that the transmission does not report errors to the ODB so perhaps Ford uses the O/D light flashing as a transmission error code. You'll need a code reader for the engine codes though- but it sounds they may somehow be related to the transmission problem.
