wont run right?

so heres the thing, i went o leave in my truck the other day and everything was fine when i started it and let it warm up for 10 mins or so. I backed out of the drive way and when i went to leave in drive i got to about 1500rpm and the truck got a really rough idle to the point where it would stall if i didnt get it into neutral or park? it only does it going foward it wont do it in reverse? it also isnt setting off the check engine light so im kindof stuck here. any help would be great!! thanks guys.

When you start it in park does it run bad aswell? Rough idol or loping? How. About starting in neautral, does it change?

No it runs great until you go to drive it. when its starts to idle really rough just before it stalls i can put it into neutral and it all clears up? Maybe a pcm issue im not too sure. I havent tried starting it in neutral ill have to try!
