I have a 93 Chevy cavalier. It has about 150,000 miles on it. For the past couple of days, i'll be coming up

Question:
I'll come to a stop, and it will suddenly shake and vibrate, and quit. Then it will start back up just fine, but I'll put it in drive, and try to go, and it wont let me. Once I let it sit for a few minutes it will go again, but sometimes does the same thing once I stop again. Its done that about 4 times now in the past couple of days and I have no idea what it could be?? Does anybody have any clue?

There is a solenoid on that lives in the transmission call a TCC or torque converter lock up solenoid. It locks the converter into a 1 to 1 drive ratio at high way speeds. It should disengage when the brakes are applied or the vehicle slows to below 40 mph.
It is getting stuck in the on position when its at operating temp and shutting the cars engine off by stalling it.
You can relate the problem to trying to stop a car with a manual transmission and not stepping on the clutch.
