Default Think my converter is shot

I was driving the car yesterday and accelerating about 1/3 throttle like usual just crusin and once the car shifts to 2nd it seemed like it slammed into lockup and from then on the car would only bog when I gave it gas and the rpms didn't seem to raise at all. After stopping at the next light it never did it again on the way home. So today I drive it to see whats up and it seems like if I give the car anything under 3/4 throttle out of first it does this. Sometimes it stays and sometimes it seems to slip out of lockup while driving and its fine again. Somebody help me I'm getting very upset and don't know what is wrong.

Took it for a spin again and noticed that before the TCS OFF light stayed on and now it was off on startup. This seemed to be the only difference than the last drive expect this time the car ran perfectly fine. I'm confused.

Hmm, it's hard to say. Did you check the fluid to see if it's burnt or low?? Thats where i'd start.
