Default Help with diagnosis, car stalls after driving on the freeway.

Got a 91 ls400

Car starts fine everytime
Runs
No overheating
No CEL

Issue is after driving on the freeway, I exit and come to a stop the car stalls. MORE so if I was driving fast (flooring it or 80% throttle)

Only happens after the freeway. Never does it from just driving on the streets.

Car starts back up but dies a couple times. It will stay running after waiting a bit.


What should I check? What could it be? Anyone have experience?

Read something about a torque converter solenoid but I lost the thread. Which makes sense it gets stuck in a higher gear then I come to a stop the engine would die.

There was a time that a partially open EGR valve would do act like you describe..

The thing about the transmission solenoid probably has to do with the torque converter lock-up. If the TCC is applied when coming to a stop, it's like keeping the clutch engaged with a manual transmission.

Yeah that makes sense to me. Is there a diagram of the valve body that shows which solenoid is the for the torque converter clutch?
