30003 Go Street 400 stalls when reverse selected warm

Australian Ford 5.0 Windsor motor (1991) fitted to C4 - system has been on since 2017 and have had no faults until Jan this year. When at operating temperature and reverse is select the engine stalls straight away. Timing checked, no vacuum leaks, found that the IAC steps were varying outside parameters. Found MAP sensor seal scrunched up, and trimmed that as described. First start and whilst cold the vehicle could finally be put into reverse without stalling. Allowed the motor to getup to 170 and got the IAC steps back between 3-10 and then the engine stalls when put into reverse. There are no Fault Codes
Can get it to go into reverse by pulling back to neutral, then moving into reverse quickly.

Would be helpful to get see a log when the issue occurs.  FYI, 3 lines of data per second, so keep the log short.

I am hoping there is something in this to lead me to the problem

The only thing I see is a slight AFR lean on the last few lines.  Not enough to kill the engine.  Entire log look fairly good.
