Default 05 sebring missing/bucking at light throttle? FOUND THE PROBLEM

my 05 sebring has a slight miss or bucking,, kinda like the converter is locking/unlocking.. I replaced the tps,fuel injectors, coils,, and had the trans rebuilt..95k on the motor,, it's driving me nuts,,, chrysler mechanics can't find anything wrong,,no codes...
my phone number is 812 453 2824
my e-mail is

-Have you tried something as simple as new plug wires? A plug wire that is arcing will cause a light bucking/missing at light throttle. Just a thought....

sorry didn't realize I didn't post motor,, it's a 2.7 v6
Matt,
I have put 2 sets of wires and plugs,, does anybody know if I can just run the converter unlocked for a while to see if that might be causing the bucking??
thanks everyone for looking at my post,, I really want this gone...

HUmm u might want to get your money back on the wires because U don't have spark plug wires. As for the converter driver faster then 55 it will stay locked up and no u cant just turn it off. What are the codes in the computer?

Keep it under 35 mph and the torque converter clutch should never engage.
