Just a thought - the back-up lights should be connected to the coil 12V feed.
It has been known for them to be connected to the wrong connection on the coil
which stops the engine when reverse is selected.  This probably isn't the case
if the back-up lights work normally, but could be if there is a high resistance
fault in the back-up light circuit.
