What is the idle speed? Does it stay running if you hold the throttle to 1000rpms and place it in gear with your foot firmly on the brake?

If it stays running does it run smooth? Is your OVP performing properly? What is the current like on the idle speed motor? Does it increase to stabilizer the idle when the gear is selected?

the car runs fine and idles good when u press the brake and place it into gear even if u press onthe gas it may stay runnning for a few but will again shut off and not move.
