vs 96 Stalling in reverse

[clee1033]

Ok i just noticed sometimes when we drive and say we are going to park or when we reverse out of a drive way when we go to stick the car back into drive, the car will stall, and i will have to put it into park and start car again, only dose it when going from reverse to drive, not sure what the problem will be is it common in a vs 1996 series II

also, give the throttle body a clean, especially the IAC valve.

seems to happen a bit with them.

IAC Valve controls engine idle, and is used to raise the rpm (rev's) of the motor when you change between gears. Over time the IAC valve becomes clogged up and sticky, meaning it does not function correctly. The best thing to do is remove the IAC valve and give it a clean, best to do the rest of the throttle body whilst you are at it.

The IAC valve is part of the throttle body, remove the engine cover and you will see where the air intake tube goes into the throttle body. You can do a search on here for more information.
