Good evening.
Does the engine actually turn off or just will not pick up speed?
Possible issues could be low fuel pressure or a clogged catalytic converter.

If I do not press the clutch to release the load it will choke down. I have had two other vehicles with similar symptoms and it was the torque converter switch. I was beginning to think it could be the catalytic converter or TCC. My diagnostic has a short or loose wire so cannot get an OBD reading.

Okay, first, if you have a standard transmission which is what you indicate, there is no torque converter.
The catalytic converter should be checked for back pressure. You can rent a gauge at a parts store and install it where the O2 sensor is at the exhaust manifold. Anything more than 1 lb indicates a clogged catalytic converter.
