Hey guys, bit of an issue with my car.
Basically it dies when thrown into drive.
Idle is great, reverse is great, neutral is great, drive is crappy.
If I let it sit for an hour or so, it will stay in drive without stalling, not for long though.
My MAP sensor connector is messed up I already know that but could it be causing my issue?
Also, I put antifreeze into my engine coolant reserve about 2 weeks ago, yesterday I checked it and it was just about empty. Any reason for that? I haven't noticed any leaks either.

you must pressure test the cooling system. many items/components can cause this leakage...
many in warm non freezing areas owners/mechanic repairers do not install suffiecent coolant with the distilled water. then when the metal corrodes the leaks begin. when the coolant gets dark in color this says the leaks are coming.................this is the metal in the coolant !
