04 F150 4.6L cutting off in Reverse.
New to the forum, hope you guys can offer some advice.
Here's the skinny:
FORD F15O 4.6L 2X4 SUPERCAB, 177,000+MILES
Recently my engine has been cutting off when in reverse, seems to happen especially if backing in at sharp angle or steep hill, I put it in park and it starts back up without issue. Any advice? This is my only Ride to get to work. I know I'll take a beating for this but I have never had any type of transmission work or maintenance, honestly it shifted fine so I thought why mess with a good thing, and now this hapoens

Well, guess I'll respond to myself.
Put a computer on the car and read the codes at 2 different places, both indicate Low IDle RPM Speed but nothing else? This is true I have noticed my engine idling around 500 and sometimes seems to drop t0 25o and back up again, any suggestions?
Things I am guessing:
I have never had spark plugs changed, could the 1st or 2nd be misfiring.
Could this be a fuel problem issue, I ran some Lucas through it which helped a bit but problem cam ack.
