Car is still runing like have a kick down on.

How to diagnose this problem and how to solw it ?
Where is this sensor?

Thanks for help.
-----Answer-----
I don't believe your transmission has a kickdown servo.  Typically the code for the kickdown servo switch is P1709, but I don't see that listed as a possible code for your vehicle.  Please respond with the code number so that I might determine what the code means.

Hi.

I have check and I have codes:
1. P0122
2. P0701
3. P1505

When I drive on a/t it change gears after min 4000o/m if I use sequential gear box every thing is OK.

Please help.

Answer
P0122 indicates that the computer believes your throttle position sensor (TPS) readings to be too low.  TPS issues on your vehicle are rare, so you should check the wiring for problems as well as the throttle position sensor itself.  Make sure that the sensor receives the 5V reference signal and the ground is good.  Whatever is causing this TPS code is likely the issue with your abnormal shift points.  

P1505 indicates a problem with the idle actuator circuit.  This could be caused by the actuator being unplugged with the key on, by the actuator itself, or by a wiring issue between the ECM and the actuator.

P0701 is listed in my reference materials as a logic issue that could be caused by the transmission control module (TCM) or a wiring issue.  But I cannot find any evidence that P0701 is a valid code for your vehicle.  Before investing too much time and effort into the items above, I'd recommend rechecking to be sure the code is actually P0701.
