When Shifting into drive...Car Dies!!!

[SuperTrucker]

My next door neighbor has a 1991 Buick LeSabre...when he starts it up it runs good...but when he puts in drive the car dies...3 or 4 times then starts to run good...we have looked at the fuel filter and even changed it.

We put in a new oxygen sensor, camshaft sensor, new plugs, new wires...we cannot figure out what else could be wrong...can anyone help?

We do need some help.

make sure ground wires are tight under the coil pack behind ground cable

when my '86 lesabre did just that, it was from a vacuum leak. More specifically, I changed the throttle body gasket and that fixed the problem.
