QUESTION: There are no codes. I had a diagnostic test read. They told me it was the tar convertor in the transmission an I have never heard this before. Could this be true. Are have you had a tar convertor do this. IT starts up right away but when you put it in drive it will kill, and starts right back up. The car will drive at least a mile or two.
ANSWER: Who read the diagnostics? If there are no codes present, you could be looking at several things, including an internal transmission sensor.

QUESTION: A shop did. My question is could it be the tar convertor?
AnswerWhat shop, was it a placed called Cottman? Get a second opinion. As you can see in my profile, transmission is not my strong suit, but "I have never heard of this so called tar converter. Everything that I have found about a "tar converter" were people getting ripped off. Beware, although I may not be able to answer you're question at this point, I think this "shop" is wanting to take you for a long and expensive ride.
