Are you putting it in reverse? Sometimes when the Transmission Fluid is very low, and you have been driving, then stop to put into reverse, the engine will cut off. Ck Trans. Fluid.
It might be a problem with your transmission because not all mx6's stall when you put it in drive or reverse.
If you mean each time you engage car in any gear forward or reverse & it immediately stalls - you have a bad torque converter. Start engine, put foot on brake, put car in NEUTRAL, if it DOES NOT stall, but it does stall if you repeat this test when you put car in drive or reverse = bad torque converter - It's called a "stall test"
Why would it stall or almost stall in Reverse but not in Drive? How long since it's received a tune-up and thorough check-up? How is the compression?
youre lifting the clutch up to quick
No, that would indicate transmission problems, is it a standard or and auto?
Check the wires on the coil. If a couple are swapped to wrong positions, the car will run, but immediately stall when put in reverse.
* cause it needs to be put in drive to go forward
Sometimes the torquconverter can fail causing the engin to stall. In reverse it lock in full torqu. In fwd gears it slips. This is only one idea.
transmission filter not properly seated in the valve body, causing it to stall when engaging reverse gear, wouldnt have believed it if i personally hadnt experienced the exact same problem myself.
could possibly be the torque convertor. wiil it go if you give it some gas going from neutral to reverse or does it still stall ? check shift linkage for pinching a wire when shifted , good luck !
If it is a standard transmission, you would need to slowly let out the clutch while backing up.
