I'm going to put some money on the ECM.

Now that these things are 30+ years old, they will get flakey. And even a so-called rebuilt one can go at any minute.

I've replaced the ECM 4 times in 2 years (for different problems) on my 84 Grand National.

I'm just gonna throw this out there, but have you replaced the EGR valve? I ask because your stalling problem sounds like what my car was doing. When my EGR failed, it would stall at low RPM's (at a light) and I would have to put it in neutral and rev it to keep it running, but would run smooth as silk at highway speeds. Granted, my EGR valve failed catastrophically and it was obvious that it needed to be replaced, but I'm wondering if yours is on the frits and is about to fail completely.

EGR was Replaced, and the EGR has nothing to do with the Converter locking up
