Hav a 1992 accord ex 4 door 2.2L driving home from work running about 65 car felt like it dropped down to 3rd gear slowed down to 55 rpm 3500.
pulled over put car in park and the drive light was still on shifted in to all gears and drive light was still on ( park light on and drive light at same time)
eased on to home car shifted back up to 4th then back to 3rd where do i start to look for problem

Faulty range switch.

As Phootbag mentioned, you'll have to start with the Range Selector switch mounted to your console's shifter mechanism. You're fortunate (of sorts), these normally fail in such a way that the "Park" lamp never comes on and you can't get the key out!

Honda part # 35700-SM4-A92 1992 EX Auto / Federal

That will get you started

hello i have a 98 honda civic LX and the problem is the transmission ... you start the car and then shift it down to drive it starts to go and then it jumps and then it will not go... give gas still will not go.. put in diff drive still wont go... put it back in park... kill the motor and wait about min or 2 start the car again and put it down in drive it goes and then does the same thing again

Verify the fluid is within the has marks when the car is on level ground.
6th gen Civic AT dipsticks were built wrong and are VERY loose in the case, easily noticeable as the engine bay is usually pretty oily down by the dipstick.

If the fluid is full, and you have not have regular fluid changed, the sump filter may be impacted with friction material and sludge blocking flow. This is usually accompanied by howling or whirring sound coming from the torque converter area. This is the AT pump cavitating.
You may try draining and refilling the trans to remove the sludge, but when it gets this bad the filter is usually in need of replacement. This is not accessible without removing the trans to open the case.
