Need help with RC car forward and reverse issue

Hello,
I am new to parallax boards and I am working on a Board of Education USB rev B. I have connected it to a Dynamite Tazer 15T RC car controller in the 12 and 13 locations (X5). I have been using pulsout commands to figure out how to get the car to go forward, reverse,left ,right. My question is, when i try to go forward and then reverse in the same code, the reverse will not work. For example, i try to go forward and then pause for 5000 and then go reverse and the reverse will not work, but if i go reverse and then forward it works. If i try reverse and then forward and then reverse again, it will not work. I usually have to turn the board and the car off and then on again to get the car to go reverse again. I have LEDs plugged in for debug reasons, and they light up like they should. Here is the code:
The second "backwards" code runs, but the car wheels don't move. Is the issue my code? Or the car?

counter VAR Word
DEBUG "backwards", CR
FOR counter = 1 TO 15
PULSOUT 12, 4100
PAUSE 20
NEXT
PAUSE 5000
DEBUG "Forward", CR
FOR counter = 1 TO 15
PULSOUT 12, 1300
PAUSE 20
NEXT
PAUSE 5000
DEBUG "backwards", CR
FOR counter = 1 TO 15
PULSOUT 12, 4100
PAUSE 20
NEXT
The second "backwards" code runs, but the car wheels don't move. Is the issue my code? Or the car?
