Okay, I just got back from a drive, it seems that relearning the engine helped, what is strange is that I'm not having any TCC lockup right now, I dont know why that would just go away, I read somewhere that the coolant temperature sensor plays a role in keeping the TCC in tune with the engine, I don't know I'm going to drive it around tonight and see what happens. I'll let you know.
Thanks,

Okay Merlin now that the cars working of course there is a starter problem. Basically I am trying to start the car in the morning and it will just go and go without turning over. Then I walk away for 5 to 10 minutes and it starts right up. After that first start it will stall once. Then I restart it and it is fine. Lemme kno.

I think all sensors are good. After relearn no bad stalling, sandpapered all ground connections and ignition seems fine. Tcc is obviously destroyed, but with unplugging it as of right now my car is on the road.

Yeah after I asked you that starter question, I got under the car and attached to the starter is a wire that is the same look as a ground wire, anyway it was frayed and a little loose, so I sandpapered it and put it on real good, car started up, I'm going to wait till tomorrow morning though to make an official call on that.

Further testing info for the TCC, it's a common part failure and the solenoid is almost always the problem, here's some testing you can do.
CHECKING VOLTAGE TO TERMINAL "A" AT TRANSMISSION USING ALDL Connect one end of test light to terminal "A" at ALDL. See Fig. 2 . Connect other end to terminal "F" at ALDL. Turn ignition on. Test light should light. Some transmissions must be in 3rd gear before test light will light. If test light does not light, see CHECKING VOLTAGE TO TERMINAL "A" AT TRANSMISSION. If test light lights, 12 volts are present at terminal "A" at transmission. See CHECKING FOR GROUND AT TERMINAL "D" AT TRANSMISSION USING ALDL. CHECKING VOLTAGE TO TERMINAL "A" AT TRANSMISSION 1. Check for 12 volts to terminal "A" at transmission. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . Raise and support vehicle. Ground test light. Unplug connector at transmission case and install tip of test light into terminal "A". DO NOT depress brake pedal. On computer-controlled vehicles, turn ignition on. Test light should light. 2. On all other vehicles, start engine and run to normal operating temperature. Raise engine speed to 1500 RPM. Test light should light. If test light lights, see CHECKING FOR GROUND AT TERMINAL "D" AT TRANSMISSION. If test light does not light, ensure fuse marked "gauges" is okay (most models). CHECKING FOR GROUND AT TERMINAL "D" AT TRANS. USING ALDL 1. Before performing this test, CHECKING VOLTAGE TO TERMINAL "A" OF TRANSMISSION USING ALDL test must pass. Otherwise, see CHECKING FOR GROUND AT TERMINAL "D" AT TRANSMISSION. Test light should be connected between terminals "A" and "F" at ALDL connector. See Fig. 2 With engine at normal operating temperature, road test vehicle. When road test is started, test light should light. 2. If brake pedal is applied, test light will not light. Watch test light to see if test light goes out during road test. If test light goes out, terminal "D" is grounded at transmission. See GROUNDING "D" WIRE AT TRANSMISSION USING ALDL . If test light does not go out, a computer system problem exists. See CHECKING SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. CHECKING FOR GROUND AT TERMINAL "D" AT TRANSMISSION 1. Check for ground at terminal "D" at transmission. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . On non- computer controlled vehicles, see COOLER LINE PRESSURE TEST. On all other vehicles, raise and support vehicle (if necessary). Disconnect transmission electrical connector and connect test light ground wire to terminal "A" of transmission connector. Install tip of test light into terminal "D" of transmission connector. 2. Start engine and run to normal operating temperature. Place gear selector in Drive (O.D. on 4 speed transmissions). Accelerate slowly to 60 MPH. Test light should light. If test light does not light, computer system problem exists. Shave insulation off of wire "D", or pierce wire near transmission connector. 3. Connect one end of jumper wire to wire "D" at shaved or pierced area. Ground other end of jumper wire. With vehicle on lift, road test for lock-up. If unsure lock-up occurred, hold steady speed of 60 MPH and slightly touch and release brake pedal. Disengagement and re- engagement should be felt. Seal bare wire connection with silicon after test is complete (if necessary).
Follow this to adjust both the brake switch at the pedal and the neutral saftey switch.
FWD Models 1. There are 2 different neutral safety switches used on FWD models. See Fig. 12 . To adjust switch, place gear selector lever in the "N" position. 2. Ensure shift cable is adjusted correctly and transaxle lever is in Neutral position. Loosen switch attaching screws. Rotate switch on shifter assembly to align adjustment hole with carrier tang hole. 3. Insert a 3/32" (2.4 mm) wire gauge about 5/8" into switch holes. Tighten attaching screws. Remove wire gauge. New switches may have plastic pin installed in hole. Plastic pin is designed to shear off during shift lever operation. Fig. 12: Adjusting Neutral Safety Switches (FWD) Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS CORP. TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH BRAKE SWITCH The torque converter clutch brake switch must be adjusted to prevent vehicle stalling at idle due to the clutch remaining applied. Ensure brake pedal is fully released. Adjust plunger to just touch brake pedal lever. Page 1 of 1 5/27/2010 ...

It sounds like t transmission converter not unlocking. This was co men on this car. Try unplugging the lock up connector on the side of the transmission and see if the problem is resolved. Resolved if it is then that's where will start our testing
