Car dying in reverse

[will_95gt]

Ok, i am new to my car and the stick shift as well. So, when this first started happening i figured it was cuz i was just doing something wrong. But, now i'm pretty sure somethings up. I can't sit idle in reverse for longer than a few seconds or it dies.

What do u guys think?

So if you push the clutch in and put it in reverse it will die, even if you keep the clutch in?

Hey bud, didnt you have some issue kind of like that not long ago? I have read of a fix that worked for a peep or two, but I cant remember what those folks did.

Mine likes to almost die in reverse too, not sure why. I just keep the revs up.

Yeah for one whole day, if i started to move the car in reverse it would cut out and die. Then the next day it went away and hasnt been back since(about a week). I have no idea what the problem was.

Just ignore it, maybe it will stay away, lol.

I know my car likes to hunt for the idle while in reverse and clutch pedal down

But I'm talking like a difference of 100-200 RPM deviation on either direction.

well if i have the clutch in, it doesn't die really, but like while i'm backing up I have to keep my rpms up higher than i should to keep it running and if i just sit there in reverse with the clutch in its almost like i can tell its hurtin and the rpms are a little low.
