I am changing the spark plugs this weekend, and will post the results. Is it necessary to change the wires as well?
Also, another thing that I forgot to mention was that the car gives terrible mileage, approx. 18 MPH or less within city. Is it associated with the OBD II code P0240: Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)?
Thanks

If rpm increases significantly w/o acceleration or increase in speed, the transmission has a problem. From your description, the transmission is slipping badly.
good luck
YES. After re-reading the original post, I gotta agree with this.
Bad plugs or a plugged cat would cause the engine to lose power. In that case it WOULD NOT rev high. Revving high indicates the engine is making the power, but the tranny cant deliver it to the axles.
With a manual tranny, that means you simply need a new clutch. With an automatic, ???
If it was a 98-02 Honda automatic, the tranny would be near-death.
Slipping isn''t the 6th gen design flaw. Slipping means the frictions are shot. Still means that the tranny needs to be torn down or replaced, but friction replacement is cheaper than buying a new tranny in most cases. L10 and Dr. Evil can upgrade the tranny at the same time to lessen the chance of true tranny death, but at a price.
