Possibly a locked up torque converter or a lock up solenoid. Some transmission shops will diagnose for free if you can get it there. Place it in neutral and see if it dies in drive also. If it does, it is more than likely a torque converter problem.



Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds

ALSO CHECK THE MLP..OR NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH. BUT PROBABLY IS CONVERTER
