Default Stall not locking up

99% sure its not the new Yank stall. it will intermittantly lockup and sometimes not lock up, along with not going into OD or downshifting at stoplights. i just want to make sure that replacing the lockup solinoid will solve my lockup problems.. im going to drive 2,000 or so miles here in a month and id like to have a lockup.

Does the car have an aftermarket cam? If so, have your misfire tables been set high?

Yeah it's a given for a cammed stalled auto. Raise all of your part/medium throttle misfires tables to the ceiling and re-discover regular intended locked up driving.

Go to the PCM section BEFORE you start replacing components, I did a writeup on this along time ago. And you don't have to have a aftermarket cam to make this happen...
