2005 ford escape stalled when coming to a stop..They replaced it with an ekr valve,,still a probem..Then a cellinoid now a torque converter,,it runs now but now noticed after 2 days out of the shop hard starting,breaks squell and third shift makes a hesitation and sound..whats going on..is it a lemon ?

Replace the valve body, no that would gain you nothing. The P0741 is a Torque converter fault, it is either not locking up or is stuck off, but that would not stop the car from moving. I suggest you seek professional help from a transmission repair shop.

there should be a torque converter clutch servo/solenoid and it is controlled by a sensor
run the fault codes first

If Your Stopped or almost stopped and its auto trans when its doing the stalling out I Would say the lockout Torque Converter is not unlocking all the time like its suppose too

This could be one of two things. The test that you need to do to see what it is: Before you stop, shift to neutral and see if it stalls. If it does not stall then it is a transmission problem. The transmission is not letting go of the engine. This is most likely from a torque converter problem or a sift valve. If it does stall then it could be something related to a vacuum leak in the brake booster or a short in the cruise control.

The automatic idle control valve may need cleaning.

It could be caused by a throttle body issue or an EGR valve problem, but it sounds more like your transmission torque converter clutch may be locking up. This can be cause several reasons. I'll list the most common. First check your transmission fluid. If its low it can cause the torque converter to lock up at low speeds. Next, if the transmission is a 545RFE the problem could be caused by the trans filter leaking at the seal. You will need to drop the trans pan and inspect the seal. There is a round filter and a flat one. The seal is up in the transmission where the flat filter plugs into the transmission. A new filter from Dodge will come with a new seal. These are the two most common causes of torque converter lockup. Try and slip it into neutral when you come to a stop and see if it dies. May be more of an indication of a torque converter lockup condition if it does.

I would check your "idle speed control" ISC on the intake manifold. It may just have to be cleaned. An ordinary can of carb cleaner should do the trick if the pintle valve inside is grunged up.

check for vacuum leaks .od light might have a short in wiring

It sounds like the torque converter is locking up and sticking. You have to remove the transmission to replace it.

these vehicles have a problem with the torque converters locking up after a long drive. this will cause it to stall when coming to a stop. Do you feel a shuddering when stopping?
