Could this depend on where the gasket is leaking on some engines and how bad the leak is? Maybe the leak, if there is a leak, is only opening up when hot? Have known of cracked heads doing this.
My son has had also had the converter problem on a couple of cars he has worked on. Joe? Would shifting to nuetral/out of gear to see if it still dies when stopping tell whether the converter may be causing this?
