88 Bonneville-High Idle, OverHeating

[Crystal9656]

It sounds like my car is idling really high when I'm driving (normally as I usually do). Can anyone clue me in as to why this could be happening? My check engine light comes on because car is mildly overheating. I also believe my tranny is slippin every once in a while.

Is this car almost down for the count? It doesn't justify to do any major repairs.

Thanks,
Crystal
