Exclamation My stall stalled the car

Was doing about 30 and upon deceleration the revs dropped past 500 to 0 when I stopped for a red light. Had to put the car in P to start her up again. What could have caused this? This is the first time that this has happened and my fluid is fine, checked it when I got back home.

Really? Kinda freaked me out for a moment since this is the first time it happened. Gotta pay attention when I'm at red lights now.

If the converter didn't unlock that would happen.


If it keeps doing this I'd get it checked out. If it was a one time thing.....woudn't worry about it.

Big stalls have some quirks, mine did that once too (SS4200)

Well I hope it's just once.

Black 02 Z28, have you had any tranny work done or you haven't touched it yet?

For me idle stays at 500, sometimes goes to 400 then 500. Fluctuates between 400-500 at times but that is all. And you can hear it, sounds like a very small cam.

I had my tranny tuned when I had the converter installed as well. Just surprised me that the car stalled. That's what a TC is supposed to stop from happening.
