Yeah - if I was going to be on my way through there, I'd stop by...
My old man worked for AAMCO doing R&I some years ago - he was incompetent, and seemed to be about the best they had (which was really scary!)
Reports from the field say that the AW4 doesn't take too well to being overhauled - but I did the one in my 1989 Limited about 60K ago without incident. Either I'm a fluke, or I just did something right (it was far from my first slush box overhaul...)
Try to replicate the idle problem in D, and then again in N. If you get the same problem in both ranges, then it is not the transmission, and we need to look at engine management.
As far as "locking up in high gear" - that's what a "lock-up" torque converter is supposed to do - "lock up" in steady-state cruise. There is a mechanical clutch that "locks up" to make the torque converter a direct 1:1 mechanical coupling, rather like the clutch on a manual transmission. This is done for both efficiency (to eliminate the "slip" inherent in the TC) and to reduce heat (because TC operation does generate significant heat.) Lockup should only happen in steady-state cruise in third or fourth gear - on the highway, it would feel like a "fifth gear" to you, sort of a "soft shift" where the tach stops hunting and settles down.
Unfortunately, I've got all my FSMs packed away at the moment, but someone else here may have a 1991 or 1992 to hand that they could dig out and we could do some digging. If you have access to an ohmmeter, nominal solenoid coil resistance is 11-15 ohms (and the FSM could tell you what wires to test for which solenoids. There are three - two to shift and one for TC lockup.)
