Lumina APV 1995 Van Stop after drive 15 to 20 Minutes Sign In

I have CHEV LULMINA APV 3.1L 1995 , 190,000km Van has following problem.

1. Works fine for 15 to 20 minutes or engine heats up and then you try to slow down at traffic light, give you jerk and stop..try to start car ..start fine but when you try to put in gear it give you jerk and stop..if you wait 10 to 30 minutes it starts again and works for another 15 to 20 minutes... and works fine..

History:
Replace transmission (used)...1000km ago.
New Battery...

Other sites have advised it is a problem with the transmission torque lock solenoid. It locks into high gear, then stalls out the engine when you stop. I am going to try out their suggestion of unplugging the control wires on mine to see if it fixes my (same)problem. Look over the drivers side tire wheel well for 2 wires going into a blue plug on the transmisson housing. keywords: "torque converter", "TCC solenoid", clutch

My Van is fixed. Last week my friend bypass Torque Convertor..as you worte..I am not sure what he remove..but since I drove 2 hrs high speed between 80 - 100km/hrs and van did not stop. I was told that now my van will use more gas may be 1liter/gallon. Anyone having a same probelm is mine should try.. Good Luck
