Sounds like the idle valve needs adjusting, it's likely that the timings are out and needs adjusting which takes minutes to do. If the engine timing is not set around 700 - 950 rpm then it could be too low to support the engine to run. It's like having an automatic choke on older vehicles where you apply more choke till engine is warm enough
What else can I help you with?
I have a 95 Mitsubishi Galant that will idle fine but dies when you put it into gear I have already replaced the idle air control motor could it be the computer Or the transmission?
No, you may have to check your idle. You can change the idle so when you put it into gear it will not die. You must make sure that the engine is warm when you adjust the idle or it may make it hard to start when the engine is cold. When it idles in park or neutral it should sound a little higher than when it it idles in gear or drive or reverse.
What could be wrong with a car that starts up fine and I'm able to drive it but it shakes and dies when it's in idle?
You might need idle speed adjustments. Check and adjust your valve clearances. You might also have a restriction in the intake or exhaust.
Why does 1992 silverado idle fine but when you drive it chokes?
If it drives fine but dies without warning while slowing down I'd bet on ICM.

99 Chevy silverado 4.8l it idles fine until you drive it then it idles up to 15-1700 rpm and wont stop till you shut it down then when i start it again it idles normally until i drive again why?
Probably a bad idle air control valve.
Why would a 95 Saturn start with a jerk when put into drive?
Posssibly the idle is too high. TAke the idle solonoid off of the throtle body and clean it.
When you start your 89 caprice classic it will idle fine until you put a load on it and then it dies what could that be?
It could be your fuel filter needs replaced or possibly your fuel pump itself is on its way out. I would try replacing the fuel filter first.
What causes your 1994 Jimmy to idle roughlose acceleration and die and not start for an hour after a distance drive It operates fine on 30 mile or less drives?
the fuel injection units crap out and start to leak. there is a rough idle, it will run smooth up to a point and after stopping, it will take a minute to fill the thing to start. the part is rather expensive (375.00 from lmc truck) but it is only held together with ten bolts and a gasket...
Why does 95 dodge ram 1500 360 4x4 stall when shifting out of park very rarely 3 times in 5 months it will start and idle fine then will shift into reverse or drive but then sputter and die?
There may be a problem with the oxygen sensor that would cause this issue. There may also be a problem with the idle arm censor as well.
What could cause a vehicle not to idle right but drive just fine when driving?
The most common problems are usually vacuum related. Try checking the pcv valve. If that isn't it it could also be something like the idle air controller. This is supposed the regulate air around the throttle plate when it is at idle. Also try running some good injector cleaner through the tank. I like using Sea Foam. I have seen bad spark plugs cause rough idle. It really could be caused by several things. Anyway, I hope this helps.
