Possibly your coolant temp sensor. The PCM is programed not to allow lockup till the engine is at operating temperature

I have an aftermarket gauge installed for engine/coolant temp. You can watch it as Im going down the road, it wont lock-up the converter till the engine hits 114 degrees for some reason (usually about 1 mile from the house). Its like clockwork, 114/bam lock-up.
