Here is what it did this morning (I did get it recorded on diacom, so
I will need to look at things very carefully tonight).

It appeared that either the TCC failed to unlock or that the car
failed to downshift on acceleration out of a curve.   The engine
lugged at <2000rpm, with a TPS of over 60%, so it should have easily
have downshifted/unlocked  I had noticed what I thought was similar
events in the recent past, but I had not been sure what I saw.

The IAC appears to have been somewhat lazy, cleaning the old one may
have helped the situation, putting the new one in did seem to help,
though it still dies when I put it in gear, which may point to the TCC
having some problem or one of the clutch packs causing extra drag on
the engine.   This happened after I was racing so I may have fired the
tranny.  And the tranny is the original one and has 123k miles.
