I see two possibilities. A bad idle control valve and a plugged up catalytic converter.

I recently change 2 vacuum hoses to a slightly bigger size, does that have anything to do with my problem of shutting off when I switch to drive or reverse . Or with having no more than 1500 rpms?

Make sure there is no vacuum leak. The cat can be tested for excess back pressure at a muffler shop.
