my  automatic car seemingly slips from drive to neutral and back at time?

Happened to a couple of my cars. Take yours to a transmission shop. There's no quick fix.

well the essential function is lean back towards the passanger seat,then rev it up to about 45 then gently hit the gas more and more while leaning back further.good luck

with out checking it possible that the temperature control might be bad /loose connection some where/ safety switch keeping it off /maybe a bad gas soleniod

Read your warranty paperwork.  Go by what it says.  The dealership will have to honor whatever it says.  As for your warranty being expired now, that really has no bearing on the transmission problem, since it began when there was at least two weeks remaining on the warranty.\n\nBe sure you get and keep the paperwork for BOTH repairs.  If you don't, you will limit your options if this problem arises a third time.\n\nIf you have any more problems with your transmission after this second repair, contact your attorney general's office about your state's lemon law.

you are shifting into a lower gear, it goes  1,2,3,then overdrive to save on gas but has less power, so when you go up a hill it will shift into 3 on its own for more power , when you do that you will use more gas, it makes your motor work a little harder but all in all it causes a little more wear but over a long time ,, just let the car do it on its own.

It seems highly unlikely that your Honda has that kind of off the line accelleration, I know my 88 Civic, great as she is on the highway, takes 14 seconds to go from 0 to 60 on a good day and mine has no catalytic converter.

check the battery first, make sure you have enough water in it ever twice a month during the winter time.  also let the car warm up at less for 3 minutes before you go any where.

Get a hold of ZEX on their website, they should have tech articles on there, if not email them with your specific problem.  Also do a forum search for your car, they have a lot of info.

Check for these things:\n\n1)Fuel pressure...how high or low is it?  Low fuel pressure will do some of the symptoms you are describing, and can stem from a faulty fuel regulator or fuel pump (most fuel injected cars are regulated FROM the pump, so you are still looking at a bad pump regardless).  Some fuel pumps have what are called filter socks on them...these can sometimes get clogged as well, esp. if you live along a sandy area.\n\n2) Weak spark.  Biggest culprits of weak spark are old wires and plugs, as they increase electical resistance with age. Distributor caps and rotors wear out over time as well, so I  would (if haven't already) replace all of these items.  Least likely problem is the pickup sensor (though they will go bad over time as well).   \n\n3) Air system.  Make sure your air filter isn't clogged.  If the car is fuel injected, there may be an airflow sensor that needs replacing, and periodically cleaning the throttle body would be beneficial as well (smoother idle). \n\nHope this helps.  Hondas have a very high tolerance for lack of maintanance, so if it ran well before this problem, once all the items above have been addressed, you will swear you are driving a new(er) car!

I believe your problem is in the setting of the ignition timing, not the fuel injection.  Reset the timing according to specifications, and your reverse run will disappear.

Here's a carreer review of an auto mechanic that might help:  \n\nhttp://www.princetonreview.com/cte/profiles/dayInLife.asp?careerID=18

If the ignition is good, here is how to test the starter\n\nI had that problem on my '94 Duster, eventually traced it to a bad ground somewhere, so I spliced a wire into the ground wire and grounded it to the frame.  You need the schematic to do that, I got it in my Haynes manual. (but I had to hotwire the car for about a month before I took the time to figure out where a ground wire was to splice in a new one)\n\nTo "hotwire" it: \n1. (stick shift only) Go under the floor pedals, there is a switch that the clutch pushes in. Unplug it and put a piece of wire in the section that isn't on the clutch (to loop it to itself). This makes the ignition think the clutch is pushed so you can start it without holding the clutch.\n2. (stick shift only) Put car in neutral and set the parking brake.\n3. Turn the key on; this way you can start the car and it will stay running.\n4. Hook a jumper cable onto the + side of the battery. Go underneath the car near the starter, and touch the cable to the terminal on the starter (you may need to look up which one is the terminal for +, I can't remember offhand.)  The starter should turn over and start the car, if not, then either the starter or the solenoid is bad.\n\nWhat this does is bypass all of the electrical and wiring on the car and go straight from the battery to the starter so you can determine if the starter is bad without having to test everything else in between.

Pull the plug and then putt it back in

Depending on what model of car you have there might be a "master" battery fuse or fuseable link, that could blow at a time like this. If it's blown then nothing would work. Check the owners manual for the fuse location

I once put a friend's car in neutral and moved it.  When he came out to get into it, it was gone and he thought it was stolen, he freaked out.  It was pretty funny.

check your spark plugs are working and are tight. also check that petrol is getting through.

Too many variables to give a complete answer. It depends on how steep the hill is, how fast you are going, how much you car weighs, how much torque your engine develops, etc\n\nThe short answer is: If your engine is lugging down, switch to a lower gear. If your car has an automatic transmission, it should select the appropriate gear automatically.
