By "stall the engine" I mean kill it. When a lockup converter is "locked up" it becomes a full mechanical connection internally instead of a fluid connection (normal unlock mode). If your converter doesn't unlock, your engine will kill just as if you had a manual transmission and didn't pop the clutch in at a stop. There will be no slip, and giving it gas at a stop still won't keep the engine from killing unless you're doing a burnout.
And that's why I asked....are you sure it's not unlocking?

im sure cause even in 3nd gear sometimes 2nd to i can press the brake pedal and feel it unlock then depress the brake i feel it lockup again ..i went ahead and got a new tcc selonoid since it was cheap lol 32.01 so if this dont fix it atleast ive got a new cheap part that i know works lol.......

no codes that i can see the ses light aint on ..only time it came on was when i unpluged the MAF to see if that was the problem but wont so i hooked it back up and ses light went off..

i noticed some days the tranny will shift hard like it use to then other days it shifts slow as hell lol

ill keep you guys posted thanks for helping me out
