I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL TOWARD AN INTERSECTION WITH A HEAVILY TRAVELLED CROSS STREET. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AS I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION AND IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE REVVED UP. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS IN SPITE OF PUTTING ALL MY WEIGHT ON THE BRAKE THE CAR BEGAN GRADUALLY EDGING FORWARD INTO THE INTERSECTION. WITHOUT TAKING MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE I SHIFTED INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE WENT BACK TO ITS REGULAR IDLING SPEED. I TOOK IT INTO A HONDA DEALER AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT RECCURRED, YET.
