Technican: Does the engine actually chug and stall when you come to a stop, the same as if you had a manual trans and tried stopping without using the clutch? If yes the torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid is sticking. To confirm, when engine is cold unplug the electrical connector on the transmission and test drive. The problem will be gone if it was the TCC Solenoid (very common problem on these cars). Note- the check engine light turn on during the test. Also, if you choose to leave the connector unplugged (some people do as a fix) gas mileage will drop slightly and the transmission will run a little hotter.

Owner: thanks for the info. the repair manuall i have states very little on the tcc if you could give a brief description and location of it, it would be much appreciated. thanks.

Technican: If you wish to leave your email address I'll send you more than a brief description.

Technican: "I'm sorry for the delay. Let me try again. 'Chevrolet Corsica' in the subject line. Your message has been sent to BTW- The main link I wanted to send to you is: autorepair.about.com/cs/doityourself/l/aa011703a.htm Copy and paste the link into your address bar. The reason I prefer email is the ability to send a link you can click on, because I have no idea if you will have a clue what 'copy and paste' mean and some of the links are very long. If you still don't receive an email let me know. The email comes from 'hotmail.com', maybe it is being redirected to a junkmail folder. Please accept my apologies."

Owner: everything came in today i got em thanks again ...it will help alot thanks so much for your patience. john

Technican: Good, oddly enough I received a notice from my email service saying the email was delayed. I have received notices saying the mail was undeliverable before, but never a delay notice. Hey, your the customer, thank you for your patience!
