| Re: stalls in reverse unless given gas help! This is in your Automatic? I would think so, It could be a multitide of things, I would check all your vaccuum lines, and I would check your shift linkage from the shifter to the 700-R4 (I assume thats what you have in it..) if the linkage is sticky, it could only partially slide the shuttle that puts the trans into Reverse, and idle does not produce enough oil pressure to move it the rest of the way, and creates a sort of "hydraulic lock" which kills the engine, but if you were to rev it slightly it would make enough pressure to sort of "pop" that valve over and then you'd be in business...
Check your trans fluid too, see if its dirty and burnt.
Basically check all the hoses and linkages, and if nothing obvious, its probably something inside the throttle-body with one of those shuttles. which is kind of a bummer to fix..
QUestion: If you put it into reverse and rev it a little bit, and then put your foot back on the brake, does it idle fine (while in reverse)?? |
