Car Stalls In Reverse

Twice now my 06 TL has stalled (engine cut off) while backing out of a parking space. I just bought it from an Acura dealer as a certified car with 26K miles. The car appears to be in excellent condition, everything serviced. It is under warrenty, so I am not too worried at this point. Just wondering if anybody has had these experiences, and where to begin the trouble shooting process?

It normally idles around 1000 rpms. I read some stuff about ignition coil problems with Acura cars, but the 06 was not covered in those re-calls. I will call the service advisor today and see what he says.

Thanks for the advice all. I went to the dealer today and they ran every test they could, didn't find anything abnormal. Of course while I was at the dealer a guy backed into my car and did $600 in damage to the bumper. You just can't win sometimes.

I traded in my S2000 in for the TL. I went back to the Honda dealer to get some money back on my warrenty right after the Acura dealer finished with it. It was just parked in their lot when a guy turning around in the parking lot hit it. At least he was honest and stayed until I came out. $585 to repaint the bumper for a few scratches.
