This could be caused by a million things. The key to finding out what is causing this is to read the code out of the OBD port. If it's a '97 or newer car, take it to Auto Zone and they will read the code out and advise you what to do next. Call them first to see if they read codes for free, I think they do. If it is older than a '97, search the web for instructions on how to short the contacts of the port to read the code.

98 z71 starts and runs very rough then slams into gear and dies what could cause this?

I have to guess at a few things but.. I am guessing because the engine has serious problem with how it is running the engine computer has increased the idle speed very high to try and keep it running. If this is the case putting it into gear will bang very hard and drop the engine speed to below what the engine control computer can keep it running. So it quits. Get the engine fixed.
