I did a search and didn't see anything... I just recently had my fuel pump replaced and tonight when I went to put it in to reverse it just dies. It runs just fine in any gear or neutral, but when I put it in reverse it just cuts off.. Someone please tell me it isn't my transmision. The car is a 96 base model with a auto trans. Thanks for the help.
i had a 99 sunfire 2.2/3spd that would do somethng similar. i worked nights, and on the colder ones when i would come out in the morning and start my car, if i put it in reverse to back out of a space, it would die. restart it, wait 30 seconds, try again and it was good to go. would pull away fine if it put it into drive. only did this till it had around 25,000 miles on it. one day i just happened to notice it had been a long time since it had done it, and never had the problem again.

Just to update, I had to push it out of my spot this morning, but when I got home from work I threw it in reverse just to see what would happen, and sure enough it worked just fine. I backed in to my spot though

Should I be worried about this still?
maybe, my issue went away...but yours may or may not, hell it might not even be the same thing...

I had a problem like this happen to me, think I had my fuel pump replaced also (not entirely sure). It turned out the auto guy did not "reset" or "readjust" my RPMs. This seemed to fix the problem after he adjusted the RPM issue. Maybe ask your mechanic about that.
My car was exactly the same, it died whilst in reverse. This happened at my campsite, I was livid!
mine did the same thing. I thought it was my battery cause my radio would be on loud so I changed it about a year and a half ago and it's only happened once since then.
