    Car lunging when cold.

    Well, guys. I think this is my torque converter going bad. When I shift into drive or reverse the car just stalls now. I have to give it gas to stop it from stalling, or let the car warm up. The wierd thing is it doesn't stall if I shift it to 1 or 2 on the gear selector.

    Okay, if this is the cause of the jerking, would it go away once the car is driven several miles?

    Okay Guys, Let's forget about the A/C theory. After checking again, SHOZ123 is right. It the ac clutch is cycling when I have the heat on. I turned it off and it stopped. This is my new observation, now that the clicking has stopped. When the engine lunges I hear a loud hissing sound at the...

    UPDATE**** Went ahead and performed the TPS fix. Nope, the same symptoms. My next guess is maybe the IAC?

    Here is a post I found on V8SHO.com. Sound similar to my problem: It is nice to see a discussion of this annoyance that has plagued my driving experience since buying my SHO in Nov 2000. The symptoms are: In D you notice that the car is 'sailing' or driving itself when you are cruising...

    My SHO is acting crazy. When I first start it up when it has been sitting for awhile it start lunging when I put it in Reverse or Drive. It doesn't do this when in 1, 2, N, or P. It feels like the car want to take off, but when I put my foot on the brake the car starts lunging. When I look at...
