I have a 1986 Toyota MR2 that runs great except for the fact it wants to cut off when I shift to Drive or Reverse. It idles fine in park and in netural, but when I put it in gear it acts like it wants to die. Once I get it in gear and start going it runs solid. Where would be the first place to start troubleshooting this problem and how would one go about doing it?
