Stalls when reversing
Currently have a 89 Caprice 5.7l. When reversing, the engine just loses pressure and stalls. When I have the wheel turned (and reversing), it seems even worse. I had a 89 5l Caprice long time ago which did not experience that. The difference is the 5.7l has a much stiffer wheel so when I turn, have to put more force, but as a result, it seems that is putting some sort of strain to the engine.
I've experience 2 other GM cars that occaisionally stalled when reversing. Does anybody know what could possibly be causing this and how to fix it?

Re: Stalls when reversing
This is a Cavalier forum. There is a Caprice forum just for you...., but to help answer your question...you should do a compression test on each of your cylinders, and the lowest reading should be no less than 70% of the highest reading, and no reading should be less than 100lbs. You should also look at your power steering system, and possibly buy a Haynes manual for you car. have a nice day...
