Which aircraft are you having trouble with the autopilot? Also have you got the aircraft in straight and level flight, and the throttle set were you want it, if not then all kinds of weird stuff can happen.
It sounds like on the Cessna that you are pulling back too hard or have your flaps down which is causing a loss of airspeed.

F5 pulls flaps up fully, F8puts them down fully, F6/7 makes small adjustments.

About the autopilot thing, in the Cessna if your in level flight at a decent speed and press Z then you should be ok. It works different with other planes though, like the Boeing has loads of instruments that can be used. Grin
