As Glen said, check to see if the car goes into second gear when you move the 'shifter' (as I think Americans call it) into "2".

If it does then it is likely to be the auto computer gear select circuit and/ or the throttle cable adjustment.

If it doesn't go into second then the solenoid isn't operating and this could be down to the solenoid being stick and needs operating a few times, or it is the solenoid driving (output) transistor in the auto computer.

Double check your fluid levels first. Also check the auto computer fuse in the fuse box that it hasn't gone tarnished due to old age.

Good luck.
