So when I have the AC on Max and I place the car in reverse the engine feels like it wants to stall. Ideas?

Dirty throttle body? Old trans fluid?


With the A/C on MAX you are creating a larger-than-normal load on the engine and electrics. Does the idle slow AT ALL in a forward gear?

^^ this.

Dirty throttle body (idle air control valve mainly) will do it.

Also having the ac blasting a full power combined with being in gear, especially reverse (reverse requires more pressure from the pump to engage) can cause a severe drop in RPM at idle.

If throttle body is dirty then it's hard for the computer to compensate idle for the increased loads.
