When i'm reversing, if I step on the gas pedal to hard the engine dies but if I step on slowly it works fine, although sometimes stepping on the pedal slowly the engine shakes like its going to die

You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.
