Stalls and dies when reversing uphill?
I have a 91 Camaro (305 Automatic) and it dies whenever I reverse up a slope. I can reverse fine on a flat surface, but if I ever reverse up hill the engine makes kind of a scoft screech noise and then dies. While it's stalling the only way to keep it from dieing out is to gas it or hit the brakes.
Any guesses on why this is happening?

Re: Stalls and dies when reversing uphill?
have you tried jacking up the rear of the car to an equivalent angle and putting it on jackstands to see if it would do it then? More details are always better.
