What is your question?
I have a 97 GMC Jimmy it will start and run fine and park or neutral but when I go to put it in gear reverse or drive it wants to die like it's not getting fuel it starts backfiring and cutting out I have replaced distributor cap and rotor new spark plugs new wires new fuel filter the only thing I have not replaced on it is the fuel pump could this just be a vacuum issue or something else these problems started a couple weeks ago any help I can get on this issue would be great thanks for your time and be safe y'all

Hello, The most likely cause is the transmission torque converter clutch (TCC). Lock-up clutches in the torque converter are great on the highway, but terrible in the driveway. If the lockup solenoid is telling it to engage all the time, then the torque converter is now operating just like a manual transmission clutch, locking the rear wheels to the engine. Since this is locked together, the engine has to stop if the tires are stopped. Let me know if you have questions while diagnosing, otherwise, I'll leave a link to certified shops in your area. http://repairpal.com/gmc-within-10-miles-of-portland-oregon-97222
