Question stalling in reverse

Hi! I have a 95 with a bd torque converter fuel plate ,Automatic it has started stalling when I put it into reverse either hot or cold moreso hot though. The odd time will also stall with Air conditioning on and a hard slow turn. Could this be an idle issue it seems to be idling lower then normal when I put into gear. Also is ther and idle compensater for when the air conditioning is on.Any words of Wisdom would be appreciated.

going by the stock Tach you have 0 one line then a second line then 1000 RPM it is idling below the second line in drive with air on it dips lower when compressor kicks in and a little lower when I put it in reverse.Sorry I do not know what Revs are on the unmarked lines

Sounds like your idling under 500 rpms to me. It should be between the 2nd line and the 1000 mark. Thats why its stalling. Heres the link to help you turn it up. http://dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/adjustm...d_Gen-Idle.htm

Okay I have adjusted the idle it is idling at just a little bit above the second line with the air on and in drive with the brake on. in neutral it is idling at about 3/4 of the way to the 1000 is this better it or is it idling to high in neutral

sounds like you could bump it up a little more, it should be right below the 1 mark in neutral, and about halfway between the half mark and 1, which is 750, in drive. hope that makes since.

Each line represents 125 RPM. Get it to at least 750 in Drive with a/c on.
