Have same problem with '90 but it comes and goes
I have the 4 cyl. auto and about one time out of five starts it acts like this (stuck in third but can shift 1-2-3 manually and no problem with reverse).
Usually, stopping the car, shutting off the engine and restarting it causes the trans to shift normally. Sometimes, I have to stop and start two or even three times.
Is this a trans problem or an electrical problem? I'm guessing that that the ignition switch may be a factor. About once in a hundred starts, the horn beeps once. When I turn off the ignition, sometimes the sunroof and windows automatically close, sometimes they don't.
Also, when I lock the drivers door with the key, it locks all of doors but most of the time when I remove the key the doors unlock. If I then go around to the passenger door and lock it, all doors will lock and stay locked. But, if I get out of the drivers seat, close the drivers door and go directly to the passenger door to lock it with a key, all of the doors won't lock (only the passenger door will lock).
Any ideas? The car has 98,000 miles. One owner.
