OK, it died again when it came down to idle.

I didn't get a chance to drive yesterday, and started it today. Gave it a minute or two to warm up (obviously not long enough to get it warm) and started driving. When it got warm, i thought i'd check it to see whats happening, so i pulled off in a parking lot, and it stalled out and died. Started it up, stalled out again. I tried it a third time, and it started up and stayed good for me for the rest of my errands ~30 minutes....

I haven't cleaned the MAF yet, but i think the two of you agreed that it would cause poor idle, not stalled out...

Someone mentioned that it might be the Oxygen sensor, saying that the computer might run on defaults and then once it warms up, it would try to check it and if it was faulting, it could screw up idle and die. Now I would have to think something like this would leave a trace, no?

Also, is there any way to check the IAC to rule it out as good or bad? Like if i pull it out and give it charge, it should do something? Or should I get another and see if the problem persists. The only reason I'm apprehensive on doing that is I'd by used one so it too could be bad...

Any other suggestions on what to try?
