Hello, I'm having a problem with my car stalling as soon as I put it in drive or reverse. I have no idea what it could be.... People say it could be the transmission, or MAF... Please help!
Thanks much

Will it keep running if you lightly apply pressure to the gas pedal?

Stuck-on Torque Converter Lock-up Clutch?

Throttle bodies go bad with age... possible Throttle Body Module, but if she revs fine in Neutral, Throttle Body Module is probably OK.
