Yes its possible that the torque converter is the cause, but I'm Just running through the easiest possible causes/solutions first before having to drop the transmission. Other possibilities could be vacuum lines that have come disconnected, a throttle body that has a butterfly sticking, brake booster leaks (even internal) can also cause this
