Post Help? Lightning Stalls in gear

It has happened a few times before, and always seems random. As I am usually coming to a stop, it sputters, and stalls. If I start it again, runs fine until I put in gear and then stutters and stalls. Let it sit a moment, start again and no problem.

I'm wondering if this might be some kind of converter problem.. Any help would be appreciated

I work at a Ford dealer in the service dept and it sure sounds like a torq convertor to me.

Off the top of my head, I'd say converter is locking at to low EPC pressure, converter locks, wheels are locked, engine stals, take it to a dealer and they can flash it to see if it's written any codes to the PCM, if the O/D button flashes, that's a signal that a code is written, but I'm not sure it flashes every time it writes an error.
Hope it helps,

G

I would pull any chip that you may have in it first. Make sure to clear the computer so they don't know about it.
