Sounds like either a vacuum leak or the IAC isn't working.

HMMM, it only does it in reverse. Unless a bare wire or something is hitting when the motor torques to the left when it goes into reverse. Other than that, a tranny problem is the only other possibility.

Check the wiring going down to the gear position switch on the side of the tranny. Make sure it isn't hitting the exhaust or anything.
