when i got to start my car when its cold outside, or if i havnt ran it for a while i will turn it on it will fire up fine, ill let it warm up for a bit, but as soon as i put it reverse or 1st gear it will just drop the RPMS hella fast and die. so i have to hurry and give it gas to keep it running. and it does this for a while untill i start driving it around town then its usually fine. and if the idle ever drops to low it will die. anynone know what this could be? fuel pump going out? vaccum leak? idk? help please!.
