94 Cav Stalls when Placed in Drive

[trcar]

I was able to verify that it is the lockout solenoid by disconnecting a blue connector/plug when the problem occurred. A tip from Cottman transmision and JDW. The engine started and functioned after I placed it in drive. I will probably leave it disconnected. I have a quote to replace it for $240. The blue connector on was located just inside the hood, look straight down and a little to the right. Popped it off and the problem is gone.
Thanks for the feedback.

my cavy had the same prob about a year ago...would stall out when i stopped the recrank and then stall again when i tried to go...the way the mechanic explained to me (a simple minded female) it's like a switch that's not opening and closing the way it should...solenoid sounds about right...

Just a word of caution. On some G.M. overdrives, there is an extra lubrication circut that is activated by the lock-up converter. Scootin down the road at high speed, w/no high pressure lube to certain vitals, might turn a hopeful quick fix into a high dollar overhaul .
