Default Could this be a tcc solenoid or converter problem?

I just recently started having this problem to where I can cruise on the highway at about 60-65 (Yes, I usually drive the speedlimit ) and it feels like the converter unlocks. I had a local guy scan it to see what was up, well going down the road it locked up fine then after a mile or so it has this unlock feeling but on EFI live it shows to still be locked could this be a solenoid or maybe the converter clutches are slipping? No codes are being shown.

I would try maxing out the missfire tables. Unless the codes disabled if the PCM comands lockup and it does not happen you should get a po1870 code

I'd rather not max out the missfire table, it's already been raised. I haven't had this problem with this new set-up since I got it together. I'll have a guy look at it but I doubt the missfire table has anything to do with it.

The codes have not been disabled and I have no P1870 code showing.

If it's a solenoid wouldn't that be showing some kind of code though? I'm starting to think it's the converter clutches slipping.

I'm clueless

Can you manually control it with EFI, in scan mode maybe? You could force the clutch on and see what happens.

Use a scan tool and see if you can hear the solenoid click on and off (obviously with the car off in a quiet area). If you can hear it click, take it out for a drive. When you think it unlocks, use the scanner to increase the line pressure and see if that helps.
