Most of the time this symptom is that the converter on the transmission clutch is breaking ose and stopping up the trans filter.have someone drain the tranny oil ,refil with 3 ots drive it 4 to 5 milrs and drain it again,do this about 4 times it will clean out trash and sometimes works great.on last tranny fill add a bottle of black lube gaurd it a addative for honda trannys you can get it at a orilly parts store.if it don't help you will need to replace tranny.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GETTING BACK TO ME The problem with the rpms going crazy seem to have stopped for a while the biggest problem I see now is that when I turn the car on I hear a really weird sound under the hood and I drive about 5 minutes and the car just stops I have to wait a couple of minutes before I am able to start up again and it just repeats over and over again I'm afraid I might do more damage if I drive it Could all of these problem be caused by the computer I know it might be a dumb question but I am trying to understand what might be causing all this out of the blue
Like why now that loud sound under the hood?

Does the car stop running like kills and have to restart or just stops moving?

I think the computer controls not only the engine firing and cruise control but also the transmission shift points. If the computer starts going bad all kinds of weirdness can happen, like your describing.

As far as cleaning the transmission if it's an automatic most mechanics and rapid lube type places have a system to connect to the car and run ALL the fluid through a hepa filter and thus removing most impurities. Then they ad a transmission conditioner. BUT at 42k miles I doubt this is an issue.

I'm all over the computer idea. OR wiring to, or wiring from it.

Do not let and oil change hook up to one of them filtering sys they are not a good idal.just drain fluid from plug you cannot change the filter because it is inside the tranny.ok does the engin kill are just stops pulling like it would be in nutral.if it kill it coulr be the relay under the dash

Every just shuts down<off> and will not start unless I wait a while then it will start up and stop after a couple of minutes and it just repeats that way

I asked a friend and the first thing he asked was was the computer tampered with like how can a computer in a car be tampered with I drive slow like an old lady I didn't hit anything so why would the comp be the problem can they just go bad ?
