Torque convertor locking/unlocking @ 1200 rpm under light throttle

probably seems like a newb question to all the auto tranny guru's ...

but i had the DTT installed at 90k and it has been FLAWLESS for the last 92k miles, not a seconds trouble in all that time (thank you DTT) ...

so here goes

fluid clean, full ...

battery grounds perfect ...

aluminum around alt wire ...

tranny functions as flawless as ever except under light throttle, ie. maintaining speed on level ... coming out of slight curve ... starting up slight grade ... 90% of WV 2 lane driving

started yesterday ... same today ...

i don't think it's a tranny problem ... seems like the signal to lock up has gone haywire ...

doesn't happen at all under moderate/full throttle ..

thanks
