My car has been sitting for about 4 months. After I began to drive it again my car would not run good at all. It drives fine when I first start it up, but after awhile I lose alot of power and if I break my rpm's drop and the car stalls. It idols fine in park and in neutral but when I put it in gear it stalls. I need to put it in neutal and rev it inorder for the car not to stall when I put it in gear.

Hello, how long since a tune-up? Are there any codes? Use a gage, check fuel pressure. Clean the throttle-body. Maybe the system is running lean, there isn't much load in neutral or park, there is in drive.

Unfortunatly during the time that the car was sitting, a squrral made a nest beside the battery and chewed through the ecm connector which erased all the codes. I already cleaned the trottle-body and added fuel injector cleaner with supreme gas. I dont know what the problem and it is starting to frustrate me.
