ENGINE DIES AFTER BEING IN PARK OR DRIVE FOR A FEW MINUTES!!

I have a 92 RS. It starts and runs fine, but the engine dies after being in drive or park for a few minutes. Like if I'm at a stop light, the revs start going down and the engine dies. Please, I appreciate any input from you experts out there. Thanks!

not trying to hijack your thread but my 89 gta does this every once in a while too, not very often and it starts right back up and runs great, doesnt matter if its warm or not. throwing no codes and no other issues so any input would be great.

probably a vacuum issue, check the tv cable too, if the line pressure is too high it can cause the engine to have a hard time. does it fight the brakes a lot?

doesnt fight the brakes, if it was vacuum it would happen almost always would it not?
