I have a 97 Civic EX. Lately when I'll press on the break my rpm's will shoot up to 2. And now I'll just be driving along and the rpm's will go up to 4 or 5 when I'm just keeping a constant speed. It doesn't accelerate but it sounds like it switches gears even though I'll still be driving the same speed. If you have any suggestions, that would be great. Thanks.

 

Do you have an automatic? Sounds like you do. Have you checked your fluid?

 

Yeah it's an automatic. All the fluids are fine.

 

if your driving and all of a sudden at a certain rpm, it just revs but doesnt go anywhere, its slipping. thats what my 95 ex was doing, so i sold the car cuz i was done with automatics and bought my em1

 

It was really hot here heat index like 115 and it's a black car and it was sitting in the sun. Would that possible make it do that? It doesn't matter what rpm's it would be, it was just skip when it felt like it.

 

When my AT started slipping, it went soon after. I'm not sure what would cause it, but slippage in an AT is not good.
