The problem MAY (educated guess) be a problem with the torque converter lockup clutch solenoid not releasing correctly. This would allow the engine to run normally in park and neutral, but the drive train would be locked into direct drive when you shift into gear, not slipping as it should, causing the engine to die instantly. Sometimes this can be diagnosed by unplugging the solenoid, in which case the transmission would work normally except the clutch would not "lock up" as it normally does at higher speeds for greater efficiency.
