I was driving home when the car just cut off. The car started right back up but I threw it into gear and drove about 100 feet and the car cut off again. The car starts back up but keeps cutting off when I throw it into gear.

It could be your fuel pump is on it's way out you would need to have your fuel filter changed and then check the fuel pressure

I think E12 is cam reference its in the distributor, you have to pull it to get it out ( cam sensor ), replace the pick up coil also

E96 I think is EGR, take off the air cleaner, look at the throttle plates, are they real black looking? With car off, open the throttle plates fully, there are 2 tubes down in there for the EGR, are they plugged
