Default 89 350 blazer dies in gear?

its a 89 scottsdale blazer 4x4 with a tb 350. it idles great in park but when you put it in gear it dies? i checked all the vacuum line no dry rot or holes non off. if you give it gas in low you can keep it going until you stop then dies. what to try first. tb is very clean by the way.

What has been changed recently?

Or did this randomly just start?

Under the t/b where the pcv hooks up to? Those usually get clogged up.

Nothing has been changed. It's really just a mud truck. It just randomly started

I would say that there is a definetly huge vacuum leak somewhere.

Check the plug wires too, there is an off chance one got burned/unhooked and its got a horrible miss.

A couple wires were on the manifolds. And I found a vacuum hose dry rotted by it was to the master cylinder. And there was a screw missing were the PVC hooks up for the air control
