Ok here's the problem.

At oil temp light blinks 16 times when I start the engine then disappears.
Car rides fine except when I hit the brakes it feels like I'm draining the car's juices away.

Another problem that has risen also is that I boost the car to start it, it starts I drive around a bit, turn engine off and ugh no more power to be found,nothing at all just the long beep when you're completely drained.

Now I'm a rookie at this really but I figured:
1.the battery might have used up all its energy since I discharged it a few time already.
2.My alternator might not be working properly.

oh also today I tried to crank it but its trying to crank but won't crank till start up...like vroo___room,vrrr______om Dead..

Thanks and sorry for the vroom thingy.

Take it to a shop. Seriously, nobody here will be able to magically tell you what's wrong.

Have the tech use a DVOM to check for parasitic drain while the ignition is off.

Have the battery checked out, and check to make sure the alternator is working.

AT oil temp light flashes when the fluid temp isn't warm enough, or is low. Check that.

I changed the battery and everything seems normal.
Maybe the transmission didn't get enough juice from the battery to operate normally.
Still will drop it at the dealer to have all my fluids checked.

I don't think this has anything to do with the transmission. I had a short in the electrical system once and it effected everything. All my gauges weren't reading anything, the engine would run weird cause the air/fuel sensors were not working correctly. Also has to be boosted every time i stopped. I think your fluids are fine its the sensors that were showing wrong.

My AT temp light would blink 16 times, and it ended up being a sensor within the transmission.

I never bothered to get it fixed, it operated fine. Never experienced any power loss, this could be another unrelated problem.
