I got into my car after twelve hour shift. When I put the car into reverse the car stalled. The battery light and oil light came on as soon as it stalled. I stared it back up and everything was fine.
Later when it did the same thing. I started it back up and worked fine. Is this a big problem or?

Hey Chris,

Here is a guide on how to do the cleaning

Also check for vacuum leaks which can also cause the engine to stall
