Like the tranny is up-shifting way too soon or like the motor stops making power?

If you manually shift from OD to D, does the engine regain power?

If you temporarily disconnect the TCC connector, does the situation improve? You can try the same thing with the EGR solenoid, although you'll likely set an error code or two when you do it. You can clear those later, but it may help isolate the EGR.

I mean it just all of the sudden died while i was in the process of whipping donuts(yeah that probably doesn't help) but my car doesn't seem to have any problems so i figured why not video tape some donuts then the **** died, and started right back up no problem then drove away with no trouble, ran perfect
