I just experienced this same thing two days ago, with one exception – my O/D light came on and was flashing. It then went off, but the problem continued. I have been told by two mechanics that it is a problem with the torque converter (?), some internal part in the transmission. They are telling me that they cannot really determine what the extent of the problem is until they take out the transmission, but the fix could be as drastic as re-building the transmission. My symptoms are the car idles but as soon as I shift it in gear, it sputters, shakes and dies. If I quickly press on the gas, I can go, but as soon as the car comes to a stop, if in gear, it shakes and dies.
I don't know if your problem is the same, and for your sake I hope not, but it might be worthwhile to have a transmission shop check it out. Good luck.
