1998 Chevrolet Corvette Mileage: 90,000. Occasionally, after continuous driving such as highway driving, the engine turns over when I stop the car. Engine starts again at N or P, but it stalls again and again at D or R for a while (3~4 minutes). Dealer could not find anything wrong. Dealer just suggests replacing fuel pump. However, starting engine is no problem at all. I changed the fuel filter, but it is still happening. Thank you.

We believe the problem may be the lock-up torque converter in the transmission. The converter locks-up only in high gear. It is supposed to disengage at lower speeds. Yours is not disengaging. There is probably a valve in the transmission “hanging up”. Having the transmission serviced with new fluid may help the problem. Next step, the valve body will have to be removed and cleaned paying special attention to the TCC solenoid. The TCC solenoid may have to be replaced.
