I had a popular AX4N front wheel drive Ford automatic transmission. When the(lock up) solenoid went bad the car would start and idle but stall as soon as it was put in gear. So, it would run but not in gear. There is a code for the problem. After the solenoid was replaced the trans. would still intermittently have a solenoid problem. After a few days of driving it started to work properly all of the time. I have put over 50,000 miles since with no problem. The trans. had about 100k when problem started. I suggest proper service with fresh fluid.to keep things from sticking inside trans.

Why would a 1995 Pontiac Sunfire stall when coming to a stop from highway driving but not on regular street driving restarts fine?
there is a part on the transmission called the torque convertor solenoid ..intown driving your car is not moving very fast,out of town or freeway driving your creating alot of heat ,the torque convertor solenoid is going out ,soon it will stall intown also as it gets worse.you can have it replaced or you can unplug it and your car will run fine ..the purpose of the solenoid is to downshift your automatic transmission when coming to a stop ..you can try this to be sure it is this part..shift car to neutral as you come to stop if car does not stall then that's your problem.if it does then it is most likely something in your throttle body ,idle control solenoid etc.,

Why would an 1990 Oldsmobile cutlass calais 4cyl 2.5l TBI stall when coming to a stop after about 20 miles of driving the car idles fine but wont go into gear runs and drives 30 to 45 minutes of rest?
I have a 91 that had the same problem. The problem is the lock out solenoid in the transmission. This can be accessed through the side panel of the transmission. Better yet, just un-plug it. Car will run run just fine without it. The wiring going to the transmission on the drivers side, pull the plug and you are good to go.
