Most don't leave it locked when you decel. Many also have a slight RPM
increase and then drop (lock converter) when you reapply the throttle.

Automatic transmission slippage
I have an '87 Nissan van. I have noticed that when I'm cruising
and back off the gas, that the engine RPM immediately slows down
by a few hundred RPM. I'm wondering if this is normal, or a sign
of impending transmission problem. I thought most automatics were
designed to lock the torque converter when not accelerating, and
did not expect the variation. FWIW, 180,000 miles on the van.

What exactly was the big problem? I seem to recall, didn't the engine blocks
have a defect? I know working on them really sucked. Might be worth
something one day since most got bought back? :-)

engine blocks
worth
They had engine overheating or fire problems. The recalls were
costing them too much so they decided to buy them back. It's a
great vehicle for my uses. A mini van that easily fits 4x8 sheets
inside. The engine hold up very well - 180K and still doesn't
burn oil. Mine's had all the recalls.

What was the o-heating problem? Seems like I read some had internal coolant
leaks due to bad block castings?

internal coolant
IIRC, first one was the power steering hoses would break down and
cause a fire. Second was the radiator hoses would break down and
cause a fire. Third was the fan belt would break and cause a
fire. Forth one involved replacing the radiator and any then
defective other parts and adding a couple computer boxes to limit
the engine RPM if the engine overheats. I believe they replaced
the exhaust header, catalyst, and a few other parts on mine.
