Code: Exaust Gas Return
No check engine light on so its good that we caught that earily but nothing in the current codes (OD light was flashing again when he ran it) and he checked the history and Nothing for the transmission just the EGR Valve.
His therory is the Tourke Converter Lock Up (or Lock Out) syniloid (pardon my bad spelling)
So now I'm at a loss would the ford dealership scanner be able to pick it up ?
ADVISE , Suggestions, Plan of actions ??? Someone help !

We need code no????
As said you need a good transmission/engine capable scanner to check it out.
If you have a egr code it could led to a bad DPFE sensor.
But depending on codes there is several TSB on transmission problems.
It need fixed before you wipe out the transsmission.
Your best bet is to find a good repair shop and have them check it out.
Tip on going to the dealer
Ask that only a factory certified gasoline engine /transmission performance specialist work on your car.
Not all dealerships are concerned with how repairs are dispatched, and not all dealership techs bother to take advantage of the training offered by Ford (the vast majority of which is paid training). If the dealer is uncooperative, ask for your money back and call around for a dealer that will accommodate you.
Tips on finding a good repair shop
Check around Ask around
Word of mouth.
Family friends coworkers neighbors business people and delivery people.
Mailmen and parcel delivery people get around and notice a lot of stuff.
Even a good parts house knows what shops are good and not good.
Chamber of commerce and better business bureau and city hall.
If you find a good referral to a repair shop go look them over and talk to them.
Look for a clean looking busy place with nice people running it.
Ask a few questions and ask about their qualifications and training.
Not all places have trained tech/mechanics.
If they do not find a place that does.
Even all dealers do not have all trained techs/mechanics.
Good Luck
