is this normal? Cutting out

[Philbar71]

Im pretty sure the engine wont cut off by itself because of low oil level or low oil pressure...

Well on the side of oil pressure problems and such, when in revers at idle with the steering cranked all the way the my engin will drop down to .5 rmps ish then bounce back up a few times before it levels off. Could be related? Not really my area of to much knowledge. I have the 2.2btw. But buddy also has the 3.4 and has talked about your exsact problem happening a few times.

i agree. if that was the case engines would be smart and not run when you forget to put oil in them

do you have an automatic? if so i belive being in reverse will max your line pressure put stress on your engine and then to top it off iwth the steering on lock (cranked) your probably also dead-heading the pump which is really bputting stress on your engine causing the low RPMs.
