Engine Mechanical problem
1998 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic high miles

My car starts fine, maybe idles a little high, but always has. Lights are working fine. Car goes into reverse just fine, but once I put it in drive it just dies. It just had an oil change a couple of weeks ago and didn't have any major problems. Any ideas on what I can check for or what possibly might be wrong would be most appreciated.
