Car stalls and idles low, right after i put it in reverse

[93Z28]

So ill start the car up and put it in reverse, drive about 5 to 10 feet and it will die. Then when I start it back up it idles real low and kinda chug a little. I let it sit for a min and it works its self out.

Its not a huge problem but I dont want this dying on me randomly if its something major.....

Any advise it helpful!


Thanks


ps.... its a 1997 Lincoln Continental

could be the IAC

I have had this happen to me twice. The last time when the battery was weak. The other time I think rapid humidity change and trying to start the car too quickly. When I start my car, I turn ignition on and let it sit for 5 seconds before cranking it over. I had my IAC go bad and all I got was a code, never any trouble starting it. MAF sensor may need cleaning, too.
It is like the EEC gets screwed up and floods the car.

I am going get some plugs and wires and clean the maf. see what happens.
