I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla with 2,22,000 miles. On some cold engine starts, the car will reverse but as soon as I put it in drive it will stall and die. I start it again and press on the gas peddle in drive mode the car drive with hesitancy for few seconds and then it will drive normally. The car will start and drive normally for next few days and weeks then the issue repeats again. I have replaced spark plugs, fuel injectors, fuel pump and filter assembly, throttle body, MAF sensor. After I put the new parts the car drives like new but the strange intermittent issue persists. I do get P0741 code when I go on long drives but it goes away. I replaced the TCC solenoid but I still get the code on long freeway drives. I may have a failing torque convertor or transmission due to the miles I have on the car. Makes me wonder if this could be the cause of intermittent issue? Any advice will be much appreciated. Thank you.
Yeah I'm most often that is a problem in torque converter with its sticking on which will make it stall. Now if you're lucky and it's the torque converter lockup solenoid, you can drop the pan on a transmission and replace that, but a lot of times it's the actual torque converter that would need to be physically replaced
@scottykilmer Thank you so much. I guess I will get the Torque Convertor replaced because the engine runs smooth and may have life of 100k or more.
