HELP ! car idles fine at cold but when it warms up , it keeps shutting off
I've been having this problem for some time now and hope you guys can give me some ideas of what it could be. I will try to describe it as best as possible.
When I first start my car and let it idle for a couple minutes then start driving , it drives 100% fine.
But when it reaches normal operating temperature, it starts to act up.
When I'm in gear and coming to a stop, I cannot throw it into neutral right away or else it would just die out. I would need to let the rpm drop to about 500-700 til the car is wanting to cut off then put it into neutral then the idle will bump up to about 1k and idle fine.
Another example it when I first put it into first gear and start going but if for some reason I need to come to a stop right away, it will cut off.
My tuner looked at it and could not figure out what it could be. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
