Most likely it means the transmission is going out. This could be caused by a lack of Transmission Fluid or a complete failure of the system (judging from the minor incident to the major, respectively). I would get someone you trust or a mechanic to look at it to give you an evaluation. It is typical for older Ford cars to loose their ability to shift into gears. Good luck.

Rev the engine slightly to see if it will keep running. If it does, then check for a possible vacuum leak. There could be a leak that gets worse when the transmission is shifted into gear.

Probably a rev limiter, as most cars to this in park or neutral, because the engine is not under load and can be damaged if over reved.


How do you bypass the governor on your 1996 Ford Aerostar?

The PCM ( Powertrain Control Module ) will limit the RPM of the engine in order to protect the engine ( on the 4.0 liter V6 engine it starts to cut back on the fuel at 5200 RPM ) when it is in gear and I believe around 3000 RPM in neutral or park when there is no load on the engine
