Any idea how to check the torque converter? Or is it a straight replacement and hope that's the issue?

Thanks!

Typically resetting the ECM is not necessary with plug replacement, but you can try doing so by disconnecting the battery for a minute. You can also try cleaning the throttle body and MAF sensor.

For testing the torque converter, the thing that would fail with it causing stalling on start is the one-way-clutch within it. Testing that requires pulling the torque converter out of the tranny.
