If it was your torque converter, the car would be slugish on acceleration, and jumpy.

You guys all have it Wrong.
Tort.
In the common law, a tort is a civil wrong, other than a breach of contract, for which the law provides a remedy. The origins of the modern law of torts lie in the old remedies of trespass and trespass on the case. The term itself comes from French Law and means, literally, "a wrong". In the French language,
Therefore:
a "TORT CONVERTER" would be an:
Attorney, a Lawyer, a Mouth Piece.
and it's "purpose" is to part you from your riches, using the law.
If your Automobile is missing due a Tort converter. You will have to get another Tort Converter of take HIM to court.
Myself: I Prefer a French Tart to a Tort.
Do you know what they call 5000 Tort Converters (Lawyers) on the bottom of the sea?

A torque converter transfers power from the engine truogh the transmission. It will not make your car miss. Maybe spark plugs or wires, fuel pump, E.G.R. Any number of things could make an engine miss, it will be worth the money to have somebody look at it.

What they are saying is correct, however the key thing that everyone is missing here: It prevents the engine from stalling while in drive and the vehicle is stopped...like at a light. That's why there's fluid in there, to allow slippage during that time.

its a TORQUE converter. its located in the transmissions bell housing. it transfers engine power to the transmission assembly.. there are fluid chambers and an impellor inside that transfers fluid pressure depending on engine speed. id dont think it would cause a miss

I'm pretty sure you're asking about a "torque converter"...
It's what links the engine to an automatic transmission...
EDIT: Sorry...no it will not make your car miss.

The first answer is basically correct,,Your toque converter can have internal vanes that have collapsed and still function,however this will throw it out of balance and make the engine/transmission "shake" like the engine is missing! :-)

Try getting your timing checked as well as your fuel pump.
