Transmission/Engine Stall & Slip when Shifting into Drive

This is a 99 Base with the 4t65e and 85k. Anyone run into an engine stall and transmission delay when shifting into "Drive?" It happens after the car is warmed up but is intermittent.

The RPM's will drop to 500 or less and the car almost dies. The transmission will delay a second or so shifting into drive, and will do so with a jerk, especially if I have already begun to accelerate.

I realize there could be numerous things to check, just wondering if anyone has had the same symptoms and could help pinpoint quicker.

I'm thinking the ever failing PCS solenoid may be causing low line pressure. The 97 I have is on its 3rd one (60k, 140k).

I recently had the plugs/wires and fuel filter replaced (after the problem first noticed). Could use a transmission fluid/filter change, but I did add a bottle of LubeGard Red.
