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?

would that cause it to not lock up because my converter does not lock up either and Because of my big cam it will throw a misfire code sometimes

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...
