If engaging the overdrive and then after a few seconds it starts to flick on the dash board the likely problem will be that the overdrive is no longer working properly. Also, this could indicate a battery being dead.
It definitely sounds like a fuel problem, the first thing I would do is change the fuel filter .
Overdrive?
Could be a problem with the lockup converter (overdrive).
your geers in your tranny are waring down and will cause the transmission to slip or not go into gear
The alternator is most likely the problem

same problem with our old marquis. catylatic (sp?) converter is plugged remove it
If you are saying the engine starts and runs for 15 seconds and dies and then starts again for another 15 seconds and dies . . . the distributor seems to be doing its job. You might want to check if there is a fuel restriction somewhere (filter or pump).
Yes. Overdrive is best used with longer trips at relatively constant high speed. City driving, with lots of stops, starts, and slow speeds is not what the overdrive is intended for.
I had the same problem on a 1984 Mazda Rx7 and it turned out to be the PCM (power control module).
