I think he means a CEL(Check engine light). Can you explain the revving? Like is the motor revving up or is it surging? Does it seem like it wants to stall out?

Is there a delay when you go to give it gas? Does it seem to cut back at all?

Replace the auto with a 5 Speed, you'll never have that problem again.

Sorry I can't help, I have not owned an auto in many years, and have never worked on one.

Even thought you CEL light may not be one, there could be a soft code stored inthe computer. Go to your loacl parts house like AUtozone they can read whats in your computer for you. I'll be ther eis a soft code on your tranny.

Mean while make sure you park where you don't need to back up.
