When drive highspeed engine temperature clim up to hot,
Hi, you could check the water resovior in the expansion tank and see that its up to the line if ok you will have to check or better re-new the engine thermostat as it may not be working properly and last of all check your radiator for any blockage.

How do i get antifreeze back in a radiator after it over heats
You have a reservoir that has fluid level markings for hot and cold for the coolant fill it to the full mark for cold after the engine is cooled down. If this is the reservoir that burst and it leaks then replace it. If the engine just overheated and boiled the antifreeze out then find out why and fix that issue.
The O/D light on my dash board is on. What does this mean please?
O/D is "Over Drive". This is the recommended transmission setting when driving normally. You should disable O/D when towing a trailer, when climbing hills or when the transmission is "hunting" (shifting back and forth over a very short period of time).
O/D provides maximum fuel efficiency by allowing the transmission to shift to the highest gear, quickly. When O/D is disabled, the transmission may not shift to the highest gear range and it may take longer for the transmission to shift into the highest gear supported.
You can see / hear this by looking at your tachometer (or listening to the engine rev if no tachometer) with the O/D on at any speed. Shutting it off should cause the tachometer to jump up noticeably (or hear the engine rev up) and the car should begin to slow almost immediately. You'll need to step on the gas to maintain the speed when you switched it of. This additional fuel is what you saved when in O/D. The up side of O/D off is more responsive acceleration - but at the cost of fuel efficiency.
I hope this helps :-)
H02 sensor bank 1
if your asking where this is and you have a 4 cylinder motor, its the first oxygen sensor you come to following the exhaust from the exhaust manifold towards the rear of the car. if you have a 6cyl or 8cyl motor its on the side cylinder #1 is on. again following the exhaust as mentioned before.

It could be that the motor in your antenna has gotten disconnected or the plastic cable that winds the antenna up and down has broken. Typically, one simply replaces the antenna when it quits working.
Shifts erraticly while driving
Please see a transmission service center for this one. Could be low on fluid, causing improper pressures inside the case, or it could be a solenoid.
Or a torque converter, or the shift plates.
This is why you must see a qualified person. Without a check engine code, (you can get it read at most auto parts stores like O'Reilly's) there wont be any diagnosing done over the web. Its a combination of sound and feel to really get a good diag.
