What could THIS be?
Well, I started up my car last nite. It started up very smooth...just as always. BUT, when I put it into Reverse, my RPM DROPPED to like 200. So, I continued to back out of the parking space, and I put it into Drive, and she cut off....

I started her back up and it was fine. What could THIS be?

Mine did that to me once, I think, but it went away. Could be anything.

yeah, mine did the same thing. Would cut off if i put it in reverse or drive unless the engine was really warm, or i immediatly gave it gas. It would also try and cut off if i stopped at a light or something. Turned out to be the temperature gauge and the harness for it. Parts were like 20 bucks each, but i got it done with my motor mounts so dont know labor. Ran perfect after the repair. Hope that helped

I used to own an Automatic '91 GXE and I had similar problems, come to find out, it was the tourqe convertor.
