Are you coming to a complete stop and putting the transmission in neutral, and if it's a manual are you pressing in the clutch.

yeah, i was pressing the clutch (its a manual). come to find out, it was a wiring problem. i dumped it in a water hole a while back and i took out almost all of the interior to let it dry. when i took the shift control modual out 3 wires came out of the harness, i thought i had them back in the same position, but i bought a haynes manual today that had a wiring diagram with the pinouts for the module and i found out that i had them crossed. i appriciate you guys help in my problem.
