Default torque converter clutch solenoid

hi guys i have a 1995 dodge dakota and it runs fine when its cold but give it 10 minutes and when you put it in drive and dont touch the gas its fine but as soon as you get on the gas pedal it stalls right away i was wondering if it could be the torque converter clutch solenoid and wondering any way to test it thank you very much any help greatly appreciated

It could be the TCC but most likely it is another problem. It sounds like it might be an idle problem. The typical idle problem is the IAC Idle Air Control valve/motor these are notorious for failing even new out the box are known to be bad.

Default idle air control

yes i replaced the idle air control valve and it made it a little better but still kept stalling when warmed up when giving it gas

Possibly a bad MAP sensor or O2 sensor. Do you have any check engine light codes?
