I was parking in reverse and the car stalls and then cuts off almost every time.

Hi,

This could be a couple of different things. However, I need to first better understand how it acts when it stalls. Is there a way you can attempt this in a safe place that you can get a video of it? I am wondering if the RPMs are just dropping or do they undershoot and then it dies out like it is starved of fuel?

Also, can we check if there are codes in the system? That will help determine any issues. Thanks.
