You could have a torque converter locking up on you. I had this same type of problem with a sebring.I also would clean the throttle body blade and bore.

when you put the vehicle in gear, it dies is one sign of the torque converter locked up when it shouldn't

how does the car idle when you start it and it's in park or neutral?
when is the last time it had a complete and proper tune up?
