So if you put it in gear and when it engages you push the go
peddle down all the way does it still die? If so then my vote is
for a bad TC. When the internal bearings in the TC go bad the
vanes from the input come into contact with the output vanes as
the spacing is very close there. When that happens there is no
more shear of the oil which is what acts as both an open clutch
and a closed clutch to either conduct power through to the tranny
at a higher RPM or let the engine idle at a stop due to the oil
shearing.
You might try putting it into neutral, start the engine and push
it to 5-10mph before putting it into gear and see if it drives
till you try to stop at which time the engine will probably die.
I would not recommend towing to do this and make sure the pushing
vehicle is well back before putting into gear.
That would pretty much prove the TC being bad.
In all this I am assuming that the go peddle is opening the
injection rack all the way.

I am still trying to figure that out. Supposed to at least spin
up the input side even with the car not in gear because the thing
is directly hooked to the motor. Sticking it into gear would
engage something so the spinning will output. Drive shaft does
spin, differential makes wheels go around. But the engine lugs
when put into gear to the point it quits.
