Killing in reverse
Hi guys i have a 2000 F-250 5.4 auto. and for some reason after driving the truck for about 30 min or so i go to back up and it would kill. so the enxt time i did it i let it sit inreverse for awhile what it would do is it woul idle down really low and after 3 seconds i would go in reverse and it would be fine but it idles down really low. any ideas?
