Maybe someone has had this same issue! Ok so i put new shift solenoids in the transmission and ran fine then this morning it started dying when i put car in drive or reverse, runs fine in park or neutral, it stayed running and i tried to move forward but it runs like it has no power and is lurchy, I work on cars and its not slipping and its not the engine, seems electrical, any advise would be greatly appreciated thanks!!

Did you disconnect the MAF by any chance? That sounds somewhat like what mine does, although a number of people say theirs run fine with it disconnected.

MAF not unhooked, my MAF appears to work fine, car was running fine.. Just runs like bad coils or something when put into drive or reverse.

ECU.......how does it do when you rev the engine in park or nuetral? have you done any maintenance to it?

I put shift solenoids in transmission, ran fine for a week, reves up fine when in park or nutral. Now it's seeming to come and go (only drove once and ran fine for a few blocks then started running very poorly, let it sit 15 min or so and bam.. drove home fine) so I'm thinking electrical seems like a giant short or something, thanks a bunch for help guys, I want my SC back to normal!

have you done a tune up? the plug wires could be messed up somewhere

Coils come to mind, but I'm thinking the tranny fluid level is inadequate. The torque converter takes up a lot of ATF, it circulates it all throughout the tranny, if you dont put the designated amount of ATF into the transmission, it will do a lot of things that seem wonky. On level ground, and with the car at idle, check the fluid level of the tranny.
