2000 Toyota Tundra Limited 4.7L issue

I’m trying to troubleshoot-diagnose my 2000 Toyota Tundra Limited 4.7L issue.

The engine shuts off when I put it into gear ⚙️ D or R; but, stays on in N.

I’ve been told via mobile mechanic it’s possibly a bad solenoid in transmission or torque converter/throttle plate.

Searching websites and DIY on YouTube.

Please advise any directional arrows you might know!

I suggest searching Toyota Tundra forums with members owning and sharing info. They may be more experienced in answering TT problems unless a resident expert here with TT expertise can answer this question.

I'm guessing the transmission is locked up. Putting it into gear stalls the engine because it can't turn the torque converter.

So, iF torque converter can’t work, what has to be actually done to “UNLOCK” it? Specifying how much labor and parts do I need to BUDGET for? Thx for your time and profitable directional arrows! 🤑
