AC was on while parked. Started reversing out, car jerked on slight acceleration, warning lights cold and hot lit up for an instant, took foot off accelerator at once engine kept running. Waited a minute and pressed accelerator again slowly as before backed out and drove home.

What could be cause of of this problem?

The transmission was replaced with a used one recently after experiencing hot and cold warning lights coming on together momentarily twice while driving in hot weather with AC on.

Hi MANSOORHONDA,
I was wondering why the transmission was replaced when the temperature warning indicators flashed. Both are most likely not related. Was there any trouble codes retrieved prior to replacing the transmission and after replacement?
Symptoms indicates the possibilities of wiring connections failure or faults with sensors and any trouble codes recorded would help in understanding the problem. I would suggest getting the engine control system scanned for trouble codes and let us have the codes.
Try checking wire connectors around engine for signs of corrosion, contamination or looseness. Have the engine coolant temperature sensor checked.
