Car will idle fine but when it goes into drive it dies.

Anybody have any ideas why this 3rd gen does this?

Just had work on the car to have a fuel injector repaired however it still doesnt drive right. The idle is erratic and it dies when ever switched in to drive.

Thanks

if you give it alittle gas while you shift into drive does it still die or will it die no matter what

if it will drive fine if you give it some gas just bumb the idel up to around 1500and forget about it

my car had the same problem...

it was the MAS... unplug it, turn the car on and see if it runs fine then...

(it will run fine but will not rev over 2k rpm)

luckly my 300zxtt has the same MAS so i 'borrowed' it to get me through winter.
