1995 Accord with an automatic transmission. It randomly downshifts and stays in low gear so the rpms are high. What could be the problem? Could the ecu just need to be reset?

 

Could be a sticking throttle valve inside the transmission. When throttle pressure overcomes governor pressure the transmission downshifts. When governor pressure overcomes throttle pressure the transmission upshifts.

Are you pushing on the throttle when the car downshifts?

 

Yeah I am pushing on the throttle when this happens.

 

I suspect a sticking throttle valve.

 

Alright thanks.
