So the car shuts off as soon as you put it in gear? Or will it stay running until you give it gas and let the clutch out?
Here is a guide that will help with this:

However, if it stalls as soon as you put it in gear or even start to let the clutch out, then I suspect the clutch is failing and not fully disengaging? So when you put it in gear it pulls the engine down and stalls it. Does it jump a little or jerk at all as it is stalling or does it stall out like it is running out of fuel?
Here is a guide that helps with this as well:

Let's start with this info and go from there. Thanks
