Car dies in reverse and sometimes in drive
Car idles fine when in park or nuetral. When I go into reverse sometimes it's ok but then sometimes itll just shut down. IAC is new, TPS is good fuel pump is new fuel filter is new. What am I missing?

The counts are hard to manage. Nothing I do help to change it. Sometimes it's at 70. The sometimes it's in the single digits.
Ive had everyone look at my tune and theyve said it's ok so far.
Ive tried idling it up with the screw. Doesnt change a thing.
I have looked all over for a vacuum leak but I cant find one. It idles fine in park and sometimes in drive. It's just once you tap the gas itll just die. Car also bucks and studders when taking off (if it doesnt die)

The IAC may compensate at some point.
Is the IAC working?
Have ya checked the fuel pressure?

Ive turned it alot to the point were it idles way higher than it should. It would still just shut off in reverse. It's wierd because it's not like it slowlly dies or drops in rpms, it just shuts off.

My question is has this engine combination ever run correctly?

The same combo ran great in my Camaro. All we did was swap motors into my 93. Nothing has been right since then. Right now this is the biggest issue besides the stumbling/hesitation sometimes when driving at low rpm's.
