When the car is cold it stalls when put in reverse, reverse is unuseable until the car is up to operating temp. Even if I rev the engine while trying to slam it into reverse it just stalls. As long as I shift quickly into drive I can at least go forward, but it is a pain always looking for a parking spot where I wont need reverse.

Check for vacuum leaks (intake gasket and pcv valve, hoses)
check idle air control valve (clean or replace )
