Thanks ahead of time.
I've got a 98 V6 SOHC, 5R55E 2WD with 118K on it. Problem developed 2 days ago. When backing up engine bogged down and just about stalled. Shifted to N and engine reved up to 850-1000 RPM (normal range) shifted to D and had no problems. Wrote it off as something to note. Today when I backed out it stalled pretty quick when I went into reverse. Seems like when it builds up pressure it just stalls. Trying to figure out whats going on tried 1st and it also stalled. drive and 2nd are ok. If I have the parking brake on and shift to R it stalls the engine in about 2-4 seconds, in 1st it takes about 8-10 seconds.
I don't know if this matters but putting 240 miles on my car Sunday I got a jump of about 2.5-3 MPG increase. Saturday did a lot of stop/start car on/off driving. Sunday drove 240 straight (120 miles 20 min stop then the rest). I'm planning on a 12K mile cross country trip later this summer.
No Codes/No Check engine light. Don't see/hear any vacuum leaks. Fluid is pink doesn't smell burnt or dark.
Any ideas what it could be.
