Yo guys, I have a 86 5.0 Auto. Here is my problem, it idles fine in park but when I put it in Reverse or drive it dies, no sputtering.... just dies. It fires right back up. I have no idea where to even start so any advise would be great thanks.

Sorry cant be more specific...

my car does that sometimes too. I've forgotten about fixing it since I'm replacing the engine anyways [Razz] my car also runs pretty rich sometimes, I'll be sitting at a light for awhile and all of a sudden it can't hold an idle for shit [Confused]
