Hello. Since the Check Engine Light is coming on, I usually scan the computer for codes first to see what comes up. The codes may or may not help me to diagnose the problem. From what you are explaining, this can be anything from a sticking valve in the transmission to a failure in the throttle position sensor or a number of other sensors. Most of the time this is a throttle position sensor problem. If you want to have this shifting problem looked at, consider YourMechanic, as a certified mechanic can come to your home or office to diagnose and repair this.
