Post Dies when placing in Reverse

My friend with a second gen 12-valve 4x4 Auto has a problem.

This truck seems to die when placing the truck in reverse.

Anybody have any idea of might be going wrong?

I'm beginning to wonder if maybe the linkage might be grounding out on a wire?

I'll see him tomorrow so I'll pop the hood.
In the mean time, pointers or direction from you would be nice.

Thank You!

Tom

check the idle speed !

mine dies when engine is cold and i am hot and turn on the ac and attempt a sharp turn when pulling out from parking space .
i like the slower idle speed and it is fine when engine is warm warm !
