My car starts up just fine. I put it in reverse to back out of the driveway and it is just fine, but when I stop the car and go from reverse to drive, the car stalls a bit and sometimes dies. I get 3 or 4 dash lights coming on as well. This will also happen just starting the car from a parked position going right into drive (no reverse), but it is delayed. I start the car, put it in drive, and everything is fine until I get to the first stop sign, then it seems to stall again (and occassionally dies) and I get all the lights on the dash again.
Any thoughts?

Yes the check engine light is staying on as well. Check engine light is just one of the lights that come on, low tracking, ABS, and one or two others.

I need you to have the computer scanned to identify why the lights are on. Most parts stores will do it for free.

Let me know what you find.
