when i turn on my car i let it warm up is all good, but when i put it on reverse the rpm drops and the car turns off. I put a new gas filter thinking that may be. but it still does it. any help please. it also starting to overheat on long drives. all vacuum hoses r good.
 
Could be a few things. Vacuum, timing, clogged cat etc. What engine are you running?
 
i have the original 307, I will try the timing, and installed a new cat, i just installed 2 flowmasters, cat was next. but when i get it to stay running it doesn't turn off anymore. it only does that when i first turn it on.
