2004 Dodge Neon P0499 Code: Why Engine Dies in Reverse and During Braking

Model: Dodge Neon Fault Code: P0499 Posted: 2015-08-14 09:21

I own a 2004 Dodge Neon, and I'm experiencing an issue where the engine dies when I push the brake and shift into reverse. This problem is accompanied by a persistent P0499 diagnostic trouble code. Anyone know what could be causing this? The vehicle stalls unexpectedly during reverse gear with braking applied, which raises concerns about emissions or fuel system components.

P0499 indicates an EVAP (Evaporative Emission Control) vent valve circuit issue. Could you confirm if the engine also stalls when braking to slow down or stop? This would help determine whether the problem is related to the EVAP system or a more general drivetrain/braking interaction.
