Default Dying when taken out of park

I just bought a 99 ws6 and when i pull it out of park into rev. Drive etc. It dies once running its fine til the next time i pull it out of park my dad thought it might have been a ground undone and indeed i found one undone but didnt seem to help.... any ideas? Also i have two guages one is trans temp and other is air /fuel and the air/fuel is not working they light up but just doesnt show where its at (lean,rich etc.) Ideas? Thanks

^Fouled wideband sensor or not connected.

As for it dying, did you check for vacuum leaks? Do you have weak brake pedal or really firm? I remember somebody having this issue but can't seem to remember what fixed it.

I had a simular problem. Turned out to be a bad battery. I know it sounds wierd but when I changed the battery problem went away.
