Angry Turns Off When I Put It On Reverse

I HAVE A 1995 FULL SIZE BRONCO 5.8, EVERYTIME I PUT IT ON REVERSE THE RPM'S GOES DOWN AND MOST OF THE TIME THE ENGINE DIE SPECIALLY IF THE AIR CONDITIONER IS ON, OR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS DOWN. HOW CAN I FIX IT?

ALSO IAM THINKING ABOUT PUTTING A SET OFF HEADERS, WICH ONE YOU RECOMMEND? I WANT THE TRUCK LOUDER. THE TRUCK HAS A SINGLE FLOWMASTER EXHAUST.

I'm guessing that it does not do this in forward gears?

Semper, it 'might' be your IAC (mounted on the side of the throttle body). Clean it w/some throttle body cleaner, and you should be ok.

Mine had these symptoms, and after cleaning everything was alright. I would pull the codes just to be on the safe side before/after the IAC cleaning - your choice.
