When I start the car then shift gears, reverse is okay then when I
change gears to drive forward, that is when the light blinks and the
engine revs really high. I shifted back into reverse to see what
would happen and the car wouldn’t move and the RPMs remained high.

What is an ’ATF’? I don’t know if my mechanic friend changed that for
me. Unfortunately, I know almost nothing about cars except for
paying for repairs.
