RPms increases as im driving or when I let go the accelerator

I'm driving my 1996 honda accord and than suddenly it slows down and the rpms go too high really fast and my vehicle speed decreases. It does it mostly above 40 mph or sometimes is running good until I take my foot of the accelerator. Is it the transmission, the engine or both? What can it be?

There are two solenoids on the front of your transmission one controlls the tourqe converter .try tapping them with a screwdriver handle the screens in them might be plugged or you might need to replace them

The RPM of Nissan Altima stays high when drive over 65 MPH.

No....the rpms differ from engine to engine and from manufacturer to manufacturer. RPM's are always higher at higher speeds.

92 prelude si (auto)

With normal acceleration the 1st to second shift point should be around 2500-3000 rpm. Most of your shifts under moderate acceleration will take place at this same point or when there a light load on the transmission. Under hard acceleration the RPMs will climp higher due to increased power needs and the computer will shift when less power is needed or the RPMs climb to an unsafe speed say5000-6000rpms (depending on where yours redlines). Also going up a steep hill will raise the RPMs higher and goind down a hill will cause a faster shift at lower RPMs. These can always be altered by an individual owner by adjusting shift points, using performance parts and if you have problems (low tranny fluid/trans issues). Your trans RPMS are fine and will vary depening on how your foot accelerates. The shift pattern should be the same every time you drive slow/medium/fast/, look for changes in those patterns you will also catch a problem early.

94 honda accord 2.2l engine misfires at lower rpms

Check for a vacuum leak somewhere. When you have pressure by going faster it will not be a problem but if slow it will cause a problem. TLT
