After coasting down a grade, my 2008 Equinox stutters when I accelerate to continue up the other side. A diagnostic check revelead nothing although the "engine performance light" came on, there was nothing in the memory. The next time I turned on the ignition the light did not turn on and has not for the last 4 times I started it. Appears to be the torque converter - does this make sense?

It sounds like the torque converter clutch. Just unplug it. It is the square 4 pin plug on the front of the transmission. Once it is unplugged and you get it unlocked, it will be fine. Just leave it unplugged, it won't hurt anything.

Check ignition timing, timing chain, fuel filter and fuel pressure after you change it. ( if the filter doesn't solve it)

you sure its missing and not a torque converter shudder . as a auto tech some times its hard for me to tell the difference. it it was missing it would throw a miss fire code not a torque converter code at 126 k sounds the the trans needs to come out and a good tech needs to rebuild it

Check battery.
