torque converter Q. 900 91

posted by  someone claiming to be river conte on  Tue Dec 8 15:58 CST 1998 [RELATED]

I'm wondering if my torque converter is no-good...it seems when I come to quick stop, periodically, the car will stall. I noticed that the tach. just plummets as the car comes to a stop; also, I noticed that the car is not "down shifting" into 3rd or even 2nd (once the speed is below 20mph) gear while this is happening. Once the RPM gets to below 500, even 200, the "check-engine" light and dash lights come on--sometimes if I give it gas and drop it into 2nd, she stay alive; otherwise she stalls out. Without fail, it starts right up. This is always and ONLY associated with coming to stop, most often a rapid stop.

Any ideas???
