2000 Mitsubishi Galant 100K miles serviced about a month ago. Car was running great, after shutoff, Idles and revs fine, the instant I drop it into reverse or drive it begins sputtering to the point where it is undrivable. Weird thing is, I can put it back in neutral or park and it returns to idling and reving fine. Thanks Guys, your the best online help!

I would check the fuel pressure, and do a throttle body cleaning. first, then go ahead and check the IAC valve. if there is a check engine light on, then have it scanned for codes,(autozone)bring them back to me so I can look them up.
