Car dies when put in gear!

Ok, I have a 91 GTA that I jsut put a heads and cam deal on it and finally got it put back together yesterday. After tweaking the fuel pressure and the timing I got it to run good. Only problem is when you shift into gear(it's an auto) it jerks and immeadiatly dies. Not sure what is causing it but I'm stumped! Any helpe would be great!


Thanks Jake

Sometimes the TCC doesn't disengage properly, causing a bigger load on the engine (like letting out the clutch at idle). could be one of a few things, but with mine the TCC solenoid was stuck open.
