tries to die when I put it in gear

It doesn't matter if the car is hot or cold it tries to die when I put it in gear. I have ajusted the IAC 4 times, changed chips, and it still does it. The only thing I can think of is the cam don't make enough vacume. What do you think. Thanks

Did this all of a sudden start happening, or did it slowly get worse and worse to the point where it is now?

Yea,like stephenc said,how did it happen.Was it sudden,or were you workin on the car or just did mods when it happened,or were you getting on it?Off the top of my head id say your timings off or your TPS needs to be adjusted.

It started to do it after I did the mods to the car. My timming is at 10*.
