There could be a vacuum leak somewhere causing the engine to idle too fast. It would also cause the engine to run too lean and possibly burn a piston.

How do you fix a 1991 Chevy cavalier Z24 it starts but when you put in gear it stalls?

This can be a number of things. What comes to mind first is, if this is an A/T you may have a bad lock-up torque converter, or the solenoid is stuck. If the engine runs and idles great until you put it in drive, this would be my guess.

You have got a 1991 Chevy Cavalier Z24 with all new plugs that idles rough at traffic lights though has stalled rarely and teases to stall at traffic lights and at initial gas pedal press?

Chances are, you have either a bad lock up solenoid . Or you may have a bad fuel pressure regulator. This is where I would look first
