91 Olds Calais 2.5L Stalling

[ASteen]

Alright heres what I know.
She starts up just fine in the begining. About 5 minutes into the drive it gives a little "kick" like the engine is going to stall. At the 10-15 minute mark it drives just fine. 15-20 minute mark it starts "kicking" again. 20-30 minute mark is when it starts to stall out at any stop. it'll start up about twice after that and run for 3-5 minutes. then it just dies. and I'll have to wait until it's fully cool to start it up again.

The check engine light never comes on, during a stall altough I lose all power to the car. The fluids are full, (change was done Nov '06) though I might have a small oil leak.

Welcome to AF.

Sounds like its your TCC-Torque Converter Clutch is not disengaging when yo come to a stop. This is typical with these models of N body trans.

Pretty sure its on the driverside of the trans.
But I'm not certain. Some can be changed out DIY.

Thanks for the info.

i forgot to include, that it stalls while in park too. so I'm not sure if it's the TCC. Is it a possiblity from the sound of it that it might be dealing with the ignition switch or module?

It could be the ignition module, not really an ignition switch problem.

So yes you coils, plugs & wires could be contributing to your stalling.
Could also be you fuel system causing this.
Have you changed your fuel filter in the last 30-40k miles?

Might try that, and some new plugs and wires(if this hasnt been done recently) might help.
