acceleration problem

7.3 E350 2 wheel drive van with automatic o/d trans. When the motor is idiling in gear or out of gear and you push on the accelerator nothing happens and then all of a sudden it works. Also, when you put it in reverse the engine struggles and stalls.

Eighter what yeldarb82 said or its your transmission. Reverse line pressure is double that of forward gear and if your TC isn't unlocking, it will kill your motor.
