Use only NGK sparkplugs...Om my 94 accord ex auto it had Bosh sparks plugs and it was running like crap and sometimes the tranny wouldn't want to get the next gear. [&:]
Take it to auto-zone they will give you what code comes out for your check engine light on because that might be another problem

Sounds like your transmission is acting up. Take it to a dealer. A tranny is nothing toplay with.

I don't think so because thats what I thought it was on my accord took it to a shop and it was those nasty bosh plugs this was like 5 yrs ago and ever since only NGK plugs and it still runs like a champ[&:]
