Why does my 92 Cavalier with auto transmission run in park but when placed in drive or reverse it stalls It has to start in neuteral then shifted in to drive or reverse so it can run without stalling?

You have to unplug the electronic speedometer sensor located on the top rear of the transmission. It can be reached from above but its easiest to find with a lift. I have a 1990 cavalier and it has the same issue. I think its a problem with the sensor module that the speedo reader plugs into.
