more info on the car? Is it a auto? If so lock up converter might not be unlocking. I had this happen to a 89 cavy I had. I unpluged it and it was good, except for on the highway RPMs were a little higher.

You can unplug the lock up converter connection, but that is not a true fix.

Do a search here for the torque converter locking solenoid. Many others have had this problem. The TC is ok, it's the switch fails, and I think it's an easy bolt in/bolt out type of job.
