Default My mustang dies when i out it in gear. Why ?

I have a 2001 ford mustang i was getting a misfire on cylinder 3, so i decided to replace all coils and spark plugs. After i replaced them i start it up, then died when i put it in gear. What could be wrong ? (Automatic tranny )

Moving to tech...hm, is your car a V6 or V8?

Did the car do that stalling when put in gear thing before the plugs and coils were replaced?

Was the battery disconnected during the service? Because the car will need to relearn the idle by running at idle for 5-10 minutes after the battery is re-connected.

Its a V8, Car worked fine just had a bad misfire i disconnected the battery while replacing it. Then reconnected the battery, turned it on , warmed it up for like 5 mins , then died when i put it in gear.
