Question Hesitation and stalling problem

All right, so I just bought a 92 ES300. I took it down to the beach the day after I bought it and came upon problem. After driving for a while at high speeds the car will hesitate and sometimes stall out when I come to a stop. Has anyone else had this problem?

sounds liek teh torque convertor is staying locked up
get a tranny flush to help clear the system
also try and use a shop that has a flow drain type one rather than a drain and refill
as the other one atttaches to the coller lines for teh tranny and when it is up to operating temp tehn drains the fliud to remove all of it including the TC which cannot be drained any other way

My mothers 92 has the same problem. Vaccuum issue. Definately not a T/C issue. Dismiss that.

Vaccumm issue makes sense.

Can you go into more detail on that? Where is it located? What is it?
