Question Stalling

My 94 Cav stall out while I'm driving her... Dealership can't find anything wrong, done all the diag on her... they had her for a full week and they said nothing was wrong with her, I got her back not even 24 hours later, she started acting up again, changed the fuel filters, fuel line was cleaned and tank checked.
This problem has been get progessivly worse of the past couple of years. it started out with problems while I was on the highway, she'd just start bucking (almost like she wasn't getting enough gas) It went away, then would come back periododically.... now it's all the time... well except when the mechanic's are looking at it.
A friend has a Beretta that acted the same and just disconnecting the Torque Converter Control switch worked. Would it be the same with the Cav?

94 breaking down

It Could Be A Thermal Breakdown ,check your oil next time it breaks down and see if black smoke comes out when you open it check if your oil is black and change it check your lifters open your valve cover and take a picture and send it to me

Sounds like a classic case of Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid problem.
When it stalls, will it restart in park, then die when you put it in gear?
Mine went bad several years ago. You can unplug the connector on the front of the transmission to check it. Mine has been unplugged since it went bad. It is directly below the top radiator hose. You may lose a little gas milage. Hope this helps.
