Engine Mechanical problem
1984 Chevy S-10 V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

When I start my truck, it fires right up and can idle all day long, but when I try putting it into reverse or drive it dies, what would the problem be?

With the tranny in park or neutral there isn't much load on the engine. In drive there is load. How long since a tune-up? You may need to do a cylinder compression test? Any applicable mil codes? Use a gage and check fuel pressure.
