Car keeps randomly dieing when I put it into reverse. RPMS take a dive and the car quits. Doesn't happen every time, just random times when I put it in [R].

Any thoughts....

do you have underdrive pullies? My 99 would do that when my rpm's were
low and your barley creeping back.

are you noticing any problems in D like maybe a shudder at times when stopping and maybe a drop in rpm's and picks back up? problem could be torque convertor stays locked up some times. if it does it will stall as soon as you get reverse engagement, doesn't effect drive as much but can get the symptoms I described
