Car stalls then OD light starts blinking ?

So I was pulling out of a parking lot, I floored the gas and came to a stop at a stop light.As soon as i stopped it stalled out.This was a first time for me.Started it back up and drove home, Ran fine..The car sat for maybe an hour and when I went to start it up again, It started but the OD light on the cluster blinked like 7-9 times very quickly, No cel light...What does this mean ?

your car went into limp mode, same as safe mode. usually when od light blinks that many times the tcu might need replacement, or maybe you gased it so hard and suddenly stopped might have triggered it

I would definitely check the tcm with a scan tool. You might have a problem with the pnp switch. I had a similar problem with my Volvo C70 and it ended up being a bad PNP switch.
