Ok so normal driving in D or OD i have all gears, then tonight i felt like taking it a little higher in the RPMs so i dropped it in 1st at a stop light when i took off it was in 2nd. Its never done that before so i get home turn the car off then turn it on and put in 1st and it works...so then i go around the block and it still works. come up to my stop sign and then i put it in 1st take off and its in 2nd again, but in D or OD it holds first just fine...WTF??

You are setting limp mode, You will need to scan for codes to determine why.
