Ford Festiva runs fine in park but stalls when you put it in drive?

Possibly, an air intake issue... Check your air system, mainly the hose/pipe coming from your airflow meter for cracks etc, when moving from park to drive, the jolt can be enough to largen a crack and cause air to be sucked through and bypass the flow meter, stalling the engine... this may be worsened if you have a faulty engine mount...
Hope this helps!

1992 Ford Festiva Auto body vibration while idling in park or drive with brake applied and headlights on vibration ceases when lights are turned off?
Having your lights on might slightly lower your rpm, and bring out the vibration you noticed. If you have a tach you can see if it only happens at a particular rpm. If the engine runs fine then perhaps your motor mounts are worn.
