your car is probably in "Limp" mode -- it starts in 2nd and never gets out of 2nd -- usually you need either (or both ) an inner and outer shaft speed senso - found on the drivers side/ left side of the transmission above CV halfshaft housing -- look for 2 wires going to each the other spped senso is 5" behind the front sensor

Is it an automatic? Time for a new transmission... If a stick and 1st, 3rd, 5th are ok, then you have a possible shift cable problem. You should be able to see them on top of the trans. If everthing is moving properly the trans has an internal problem.

Check your shift solenoids that are mounted on top of the transmission. Also check your trans fluid. If you haven't had the trans filter changed, get it changed also. NOTE: On almost all year model Accords, the transmission must be taken down and apart to change the trans filter. So if you don't know how to do this, than dont try it.
