Car stops when put in drive

Hi,

Is the check engine light staying on with the engine running? If it is, the computer needs scanned. Here is a quick video that shows how it is done. I realize most people don't own a scanner, but most parts stores will do it for you free of charge.

When you place it in gear, does it lurch forward or backwards and then stall or does it just simply stall?

Let me know. There a several different things which can cause this to happen. However, if the check engine light stays on when the engine is running, we need to retrieve diagnostic trouble codes. Most parts stores will do it for free. If that is the case, have it done and let me know the codes which are found.

Let me know what you find. Also, please feel free to ask questions of you have them.

Take care,
Joe
