Does it die hard by shaking and dying or just falling dead by lack of power.

If you do not give it any gas it will just die right away, but when you try to give it gas it will shake and buck then die.

I would say check the IAC motor but that would do it in drive to not just reverse. do you have any codes?

service light's off & No codes at all. Now it will do it in drive but it might just surge a little , but it will go .I cant get it to go in reverse untill I drive it about 15 minutes. Someone else said that the pcm may have lost its memory and that I may have to take it to a dealer and have it reprogramed, I have done pcm relearn process on other cars and all it really consisted of was driving the car at certain speeds for certain lenght of time.

Message:
a weak battery can cause an erratic idle. the low voltage causes the pcm to lose it's learned idle settings and ususally takes a few minutes to "re-learn" the idle setting for the IAC.
i am not sure what minimum voltage would cause the pcm to do this. just check voltage @ the battery with the engine off(should be above 12volts) and then while it's idling(should be between 13-14 volts). or have the battery load tested.
just watch the goons at some of these parts houses. i had one at o'reily's check the alt on my wifes mazda and said "it's fine" when it was actually dead.

My 98 is doing the same thing. I have changed the IAC and the sensor on the transmission and it will still stall. I have found if I stop for a few seconds in neutral before going to reverse it doesn't stall as much. Letting the engine warm up good helps also but it is still a pain.I have had mine also stall once while on the road when the transmission shifted back into low gear.

I just tried what Sonny B was talking about(neutral then go to reverse) and it did help. Then I went ahead and cleaned the IAC motor and the port , unpluged the neg. cable to reset the PCM and did the relearn process....But still have the same problem.

If the TCC is partialy on this will cause stalling
when shifting into low or everse
Torque Converter Clutch
this is controlled by an ethere is also elct sol and a change
valve located right next to the pressure screw
the setting for this spring should be from body
spring seat to valve .900
some have an adjuster some dont than the bracket
will need to be bent a small tweak
another common prob that causes this is the valve
hanging up transmissionpartsusa.com has the
redesigned valve made by sonnax that solves this
and also redesigned to give the TCC more fluid
flow for lube and pressure
before any of that be sure your pressure sol and
sensor are working right and try 1 bottle of
lubeguard red it will help sticky valves
pressure screw
RE 1 1/4
RH 1 5/16
stock settingh normal wear and spring fatigue
tis should be set
RE 1 3/16
RH 1 1/4
body to spring seat counter clockwise raises press
clockwise lowers pressure
1 turn is aprox 6 to 10 psi line should be between
50 to 70 psi in gear break on center port and as
soon as you touch the gas jump 100psi+
Any trans shop could check this it needs to be
right
Some of the shift kits and after market bodies
such as B&D Power ect are running this at 85psi
to low is bad to high will not harm anything and
give you faster and firmer shifts also help
eliminate slide bump shifts

OK ITS FIXED......
Now this is what I found. When I put the trans back in I bent the crank sensor just a little, I mean like about 5 or 10 degrees so I straightened it up and put it back in and now it runs like a brand new truck , no surging or hesistation or anything, I have never seen a crank sensor have this effect on a truck before,,but I wont forget this one........

how could you do that the sensor would hit the
bell housing
I bet you bent it and retarded the timing LOL
These trucks already suffer from weak timming
they can be advanced 8 degrees before ping

My dakota (2002, 3.9L V6) falls on its face from idle and will die if the gas is hit too hard. also will die at low rpm primarily in reverse but also in 1st gear once you let off the gas (not every time but falls to around 200-300rpm if it doesnt die). plugs and wires are good, air filter is clean, pvc valve is good, IAC valve is good (motor is not confirmed)... suggestions please
