As for the torque converter code, I'd clear it and see if it comes back. Any code reader should be able to clear the code. I've been using a $20 Autozone code reader for years now. For basic codes it works great, and for more advanced stuff I have INPA/PA Soft. Replacing the transmission fluid and filter might be a good idea as well if it's never been done.

Going to do it this afternoon and hope it fixes it. I'm hoping since it has been sitting for a while that is all it is. I'll try going back and seeing if I can clear it.

Really one the fence about flushing the tranny. On any other car wouldn't even think about it at this mileage but with the mix of people saying it can cause more harm than good kind of unsure what the best route is.
