Over oiled the air filters (lifetime ones). Overheated and popped a radiator hose, made it home harmonic balancer went out. Replaced it, the MAP sensor, neutral safety switch and thermostat. She starts and idles just fine (check engine light is not on, and transmission fluid is not burnt and is still red), but when you put it into gear it shuts off. Help!

Good morning,

If it stalls in all gears, it may be the torque converter that is locked up causing the stalling.

Before assuming that, I would clean the throttle body of all carbon deposits. I attached a guide for you to follow.
