Default Re: Symptoms of broken sprague in converter

I think I've been fighting the programming on the ECU for 2 months for nothing.
When I put the car in gear (1st) with the brakes on and come up against the converter (around 2200) the motor goes crazy and usually stalls.
When I don't hold the brake (on jack stands) It revs normally, but when I lock up the brakes it stalls.
I've been trying to tune the lower rpms but no changes seem to make any difference.
I hurt the trans last year but didn't think I hurt the converter.
The last time out the car left like a stone With the rpms going from 2700 to 3300 up and down for about 100 feet then it cleared up and ran normal. Short time was off by 6 tenths (not a typo). Car made plenty of horsepower and torque on the chassis dyno, So I thought it had something to do with the low end tune.
