So what happens when you put it in drive? It stalls? Does it run fine in Park and Neutral?

I runs fine in Park, neutral, and reverseMy sister said her Ford did the same thing but it was just some type of sensor and not her [transmission](/topics-transmission-ford/)Are you there??

This could be a few things but I would take a scan tool and monitor the torque converter lockup and make sure it isn't locked when you put it in gear. This would kill the [engine](/topics-engine-ford/). Also I would monitor the crank signal and make sure it isn't dropping out. That is where I would start.

Monitoring what I mentioned will help you diagnose it. Could be the crank sensor.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.

No codes, vibration at idle
I might recommend using a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank and some Seafoam in the oil. Those together will normally smooth out any rough idle that can be fixed with cleaners.
