My Car Just Shuts Off!!! 🙇

about a. Month ago my car started shutting off while driving. It's a 2001 CL S-Type... At first no check engine light came on .About 2wks later the engine light came on. I did get a reading on the car. (PO 740 Torque Converter
Clutch solenoid curcuit... )
But I've Read everything about this code and it can be multiple things that can trigger this code. Any Suggestions

Shutting off meaning power? Check the positive battery cable and see if it's loose might be corroded and needs replacing.

well, it could be what the car is telling you it could be.
or it could be something completely different. I would start with the code.

Check your fuel relay...

These are known to go bad on this series. It's located under the driver side dash just above the brake light adjuster. It is light blue plastic box about 2x2x1.5. When you locate it, tap on it while trying to start your CL. If you open it up you'll see a bunch of springs, resistors etc... soldered to a board. Over time these go bad. There are vids on repairing these or you can cough up $50+ at Acura to get a new one.

Good luck.
