1997 Ford Crown Victoria V8 Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 270568 miles

Hello there,
My name is Tim and my question is my crown vic just started acting up a couple of days ago. It would start up fone but die as soon as I put it in to reverse or drive. Now it will crank but won't start up so I have to apply gas as soon as I put it in reverse to get it going then it drove fine until about 10 minutes later it died when I was at a stop light and the light turn green and I was about to go. It has coolant leaks but thats about it. Can you help me any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
