Re: a few weird lil issues
The flashing power light indicates there is a transmission fault code stored... Go to svx-iw.com and pull up the how to check TCU codes in the svxipedia section. This may or may not be related to the awkward shifting you are experiencing but it may be a good place to start. My money is on the TPS sensor being faulty or out of adjustment.. Let us know what the code tells you

You report an intermittent problem which could mean a patch of dirt on the resistive plastic TPS elements. However this could also mean a very short term missed contact, which will be hard to detect with a meter which has slow registration. A meter with a bar graph, or an oscilloscope will provide an absolute test.

Re: a few weird lil issues
I'd start off with the basics and adjust the TPS to .5 volts at idle. There is a write up in the "How To" documents. I had a similiar problem that was corrected by adjusting the TPS. If that doesn't work then try further testing the sweep of it and cleaning. If that doesn't work, then I guess it's time to get another.
But then I'm, a cheap & lazy bastard... I always try the free fixes first.
