The converter on my 2001 is not unlocking and is causing the engine to stall when I come to full stop. If I blip the shift lever into neutral as I slow down, then toss it back into "D" once I'm fully stopped, the car will continue on just fine until the next time I have to stop again.

Could this symptom relate to a bad TCC, a related relay, or could the converter itself be bad? I haven't had a chance to scan the OBD for codes yet to perhaps confirm that. If it could be the TCC, is there an easy way to test it, or see if it's receiving power from the PCM?

ATF is at the at proper level, btw.

Thanks for reading...

 

You would need to have a transmission shop to look into the problem. 1st guess would be the torque converter, but also be the valve body.

 

Thanks for the reply. Yea, thought about bringing it in but was hoping I might get lucky and save a few $ by posting here 1st.

 

Hey , My daughters Z-24 did the same think back in 1991 with about 90,000 miles an I unplugged the torque converter lockup relag an she drove the Z-24 over 200,000 miles with no problems. The gas mileage dropped off some . My thoughts Bud

 

Did you ever solve this problem? I'm having a similar issue with my 96 Caravan ...
