Automatic wagon park engagement lag

So here is the issue when you put it in park after a decent little drive the gear changes but the indicator on the dash doesn't change to P, the engine idle increase about 5-600 rpm and you have to wait some times as long as 2 min then the light will come on and the idle will return to normal and you can shut it down. If you just shut it of with it idled up and the indicator not lit you can't remove the key. This issue is intermittent and is affected by the outside temperature the colder the more often it happens and the longer it takes to change over.

  • Any check engine codes? Without more info sounds like shift control solenoid.

    no check engine codes did some hunting online and found someone having a similar issue in a crx they took the selector switch apart and cleaned it and it resolved the issue so i am going to try that first

    I have noticed that it only does it when its colder weather?
