In neutral it’s fine can rev up to anything, as soon as I get into drive or reverse when the revs hits 2,000 RPMs the car just turns off.

It sounds like you have a bad crankshaft angle sensor, but we should run the codes to see if any are stored.

Here is a guide to help:

Here is the location of the crankshaft sensor so you can check it out. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
