Interesting! This is what my Dak was doing about 2 weeks ago, but it wouldnt
die when changing gears. Just when idling or accelerating from a dead stop,
and it would die. Some times the tranny would seem to slip and then catch
really hard, and this is when it would die. It hasnt stalled for over a week
now though. I scanned it with a scan tool I borrowed and also took it in to
have it professionally scanned, and no codes were stored and everything
seemed to be within specs. Was your problem intermittent?? Did replacing the
torque converter solve this stalling problem? If so, any idea on how it
costs? THANKS!
