Default 2001 Suburban 2500 8.1L Rough idle and stall

Have 2 problems, one is the easy start rough idle then stall. I replaced the fuel pressure sensor, it made it worse. When it starts if I feather the gas pedal I can get it to live a minute or 2 the it stalls. Would like to replace the fuel filter but don't know where it is yet. The other problem is the transmission will not engage in reverse. Drive works with no problem.
If I turn the steering wheel back and forth it will start rolling back. Giving a little gas does nothing this problem came up just before the stalling. It has 230,000 miles. Looking for answers. Thanks

Default more info

I went back last night and found the intake was not properly attached and was letting air in around it. I reattached it and it runs great again. Now the issue is reverse. Anyone out there with a suggestion.
