The plugs are a little white. I’m in the processnow of draining the transmission. Hopefully it's not the torque converter!!!!!Will trans seafoam clean that out if it is clogged up??

Fluid circulates in the transmission, including the torque converter. So a Seafom tranny treatment gets it all, but it is a solvent, so some gunk is removed and some stays behind.

Thank you for all the help by the way.
Update. After another transmission flush, cleaned the MAF, removed the plenum housing cleaned every thing I could. Running much better then it was. However it will still stall after 30 seconds or so of sitting (stopped) in drive or reverse. It is drivable and running good when moving. On the Torque program (off the OBD reader) at first stop RPM is at 750 starts dropping after the 30 seconds. The engine load is at 22% at first stop and continues to rise to about 38% when the engine stalls. Ideas??

Check for pending codes.
Your fuel pump may be just hardly working.

Also -
Sounds like a vacuum leak.
Check all vacuum lines.

There is a line from a valve cover to the intake. It goes bad.

Brake vacuum?

For an engine which is suffering with no power, you have to have codes..

Well I’m sure it is the fuel pump as it went outtoday had a nice tow truck ride. I’m looking at replacements. Seems thatmine has advance evaporative loss system. Two plugs go into it. All I seeonline are pumps w/o advance evaporative loss. Will one of these work??
