you got her mad. and it's better to have stalled it backing up in reverse than stalling her going forward in reverse. (sorry i'm bored)

mods, you can delete this if you feel the need, i just felt like saying it.


maybe you got something in an injector... i had something similar about 2 years ago, i was driving, get into a parking lot, then car goes crazy (rpm's dip real low, and computer compensates bringing it up to 4k, then back down) then car stalled out on me. took about 10 cranks to get her to turn over, and i had a CEL, and she ran pretty funky after that, a couple of weeks later CEL went away, and all is dandy now. (my car was also sitting in my garage for a semester, no insurance, and me 250 miles away at school, so she was probably pissed off about that, and my mom backing into her) or someting got knocked loose in a fuel line causing some debree(sp?) to temporarily clog an injector

Did you try resetting the ECU? That's another way of saying I have no clue.

Get the CEL code scanned by autozone/keydance/friend with datalogger, and then leave the battery unplugged for a while (overnight if convenient).
