The car will shut off once put into gear. Starts up and idles just fine until the car is put in the drive position.

This can happen when the transmission torque converter falls apart internally. But to be sure if you upload a short video with your response I can tell for sure.

This guide can help as well:

Also are there any codes?

Please go over this guide and report back. I can provide how to change the torque converter out if needed.
