stalling when put in gear

[superhoop]

On my 99 sport 2wd, my rndl letters dont quite match where my column shifter says. Now, when I shift into reverse, the engine stalls. Takes s while to start back up an only when I floor the gas. Any help?

stalling when shifting into reverse is usually a sign of a torque converter going out

The transmission select indicator fails but has no impact on gear selection or engine performance. See http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2109009#post2109009

Have you checked your fuel pressure?
