Car turns over but idling so slow that is dies while putting in gear

Turn engine over and idling too slow to place in gear without dying. Tried holding accelerator with same result. New fuel filter 4 days ago but problem has returned. Diagnostic tests showed no hard errors. Help.

Thanks

Check the fuel pressure first then you might want to go to a mechanic and have them hook up an OBD test tool. It will give you error codes which will make the process of elimination easier.
