Re: car is stalling in drive

it might have a failing tcc (torque converter control) solenoid. unplug the connector in the transmission. should be a four wire plug. and drive it. if it doesn't act up it's the tcc solenoid actin up. it's the part that allows fluid to the converter to "lock" it up for increased fuel mileage and to lower transmission fluid temps.
