Glory be! We finally got my son's car back yesterday! Wonderful.
However on my way home, my ever faithful Honda would "jack rabbit" during acceleration from a stop. I'm pretty sure it's low on transmission fluid because a misfire is pretty much constant and when the torque converter locks up* it doesn't jump. I'm not always right in my swags, pray that I am right on this one because the solution is add trannie fluid.
* A torque converter is the connecting part between an engine and automatic transmission, it is a hydraulic connection. On modern cars it has a feature called lock up which is a mechanical connection in high gear. It provides better fuel economy because it eliminates the slip of a purely hydraulic connection.
