Engine dies when put into drive or reverse?
#1
#2
put the wheels up in the air on jack stands, start the truck in neutral and without stepping on the brake, click it into drive or reverse. If it does not stall, slowly apply the brake. If it now stalls (feels like you let the clutch out on a manual trans vehicle without pressing the gas) the torque converter clutch could be stuck engaged. If it does not stall suddenly, and kind of struggles and dies, it could be the cam position sensor, IAC motor, vacuum leak, etc.
