Question: Idles and dies when I'm in drive but at complete stop

Question

Visitor, Louisville, KY, March 14, 2010, 17:53

I recently had the timing chain replaced which reduced rattling, but I'm still having issues with the car dying when I stop at stop signs. If I put the car in neutral or park, it idles higher and doesn't die as quick. If I put it in reverse or drive, I must rev the engine to go or it dies quickly and I have to restart car. I just put some gumout in it and now it's knocking and shaking like crazy in addition to my other problem. Any ideas?
