Default Stalling

Hi everyone

Problem:
Just wondering if anyone else has problem with their car stalling in the cold or after sitting for awhile?

My Experience:

1. Very cold day the car had problems starting up but after a few minutes driving it stalled when slowing down to a traffic light

2. Just yesterday I brought her out from sitting for 3 weeks and after a few minutes of driving it stalled when coming to a traffic light

-Could this be a air sensor problem?

-Anyone else ever have this problem and my car was warm with three bars?

I only have a hard time when I haven't started the car for a month and It's only when cranking. After 2-3 seconds it's all good.

I never had any trouble at stops like you mentioned.

Btw, i make sure to use Stabil since the car is in storage.

unplug the map sensor on top of the throttle body and clean the contacts...when you plug it back in wiggle it to make a good contact..also your car could just be adjusting to the different weather. either reset your ecu or just let it adjust it self..it should go away in a few days once it adjusts itself
