Default Car runs in neutral but stalls when in gear.

So this weekend when I took my car to get tuned, they got everything set up the a/f and all that. But then had a customer who needed to be done immediately so when they went to move my car it continuously stalled in reverse and then in 1st. Ive searched and found many answers everything from fuel pump filter falling off to temp sensor going bad.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Have you checked the ignition timing?

I have not, it currently sits at redzone. I'm just trying to get some ideas so that I know where to start.

Why would it run fine and by putting it into gear make the ignition timing cause a problem?

Well, that's what I was trying to do.

Many possibilities. For example, the mechanical timing jumped a tooth?

Is the CEL ON?

Might the tuning be the problem?
