Did you check the PCV valve hose? Mine was twisted the other day...kept wanting to stall

Do you lose power to the cluster and lights when it stalls?

Then i doubt it's the cat cuz when mine went it was WOT it would bog and the cat actually broke in pieces and logged itself in my muffler. Maybe your clutches aren't slipping? Causing a load and wanting to kill the engine.

EDIT: meant the torque converter isn't slipping.

That's what I thought earlier too... maybe a problem with the solenoid on your TC, or maybe a sticking bearing, etc... something around the TC causing it to take a dump on you.

pcv valve hose? Where is this located at. I'll put the torque converter on the list if it keeps getting worse. Either me and my dad or a shop can just swap it out with a new one right?
EDIT: Adionik no loss of power to the cluster

PCV hose runs from the side of your valve cover into your air cleaner box.

You can replace the torque converter, its just a question of whether that's the problem, or the solenoid, or the slip bearing, etc etc...

ok thanks for the hose info iowa. And dang on the torque converter. I'm hoping that it can run decent for at least 2 more years. Hose looks fine
