Re: Reverse Stall

Which engine does your '92 have? Have you recently had service performed? What engine speed does the engine idle at in park?

There is a chance that you have a loose connection to the fuel injection or ignition system that, as the engine torques when placed in reverse, tugs at the connection and stalls the engine (or possibly shorts a bare spot in a wire to ground, stalling the engine). A brittle vacuum line or loose air intake tube could potentially be a source as well.

Or, if the idle speed is low, it could be a simple matter of needing to clean the throttle plate, idle air control, or EGR valve as well, but I would suspect you'd get similar results when shifting into drive if one of these items were the issue.
