I can get it to start and stay running all day long but the minute I put it in drive or reverse it bogs down and instantly the car shuts off.

Hello,

This sounds like it could be a problem with your fuel filter getting plugged. When the fuel leaves your vehicle's fuel tank it goes through a filter on the way to the engine. This filter will get plugged over time through normal wear and tear and is designed to be replaceable. In the diagrams below I have included the location and directions for the removal and installation of the fuel pump. It contains the fuel filter. I have also included a diagnostic troubleshooting list for you for your vehicles problem. I have also included a link for you to go to below.

Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex
