why will start and stop, if you stop at light it dies and when you place the car in gear it dies what could that be, fuel pump or tune-up.

Could be either or non of the above, but if it's been a while since your last tune up, that's always where to start! Filters too.

Sounds like a fuel pump to me.Have some one check your fuel pressure and fuel regulator.When you change the fuel pump,make sure you change the fuel filter. hope this helps... jerry
