MAP sensor or BATTERY, (believe it or not), are the most common. Check you vac lines and elect connections at the MAP, be sure batt terminals are nice and clean.

Max, it happened to me before, I always think it is the problem from map sensor or whatever..!! however, I changed my spark plug after 20K miles...that stall goes away for a long time... maybe you can consider changing the spark plug..

I had the same issues just as the temps dropped! Not sure if this is the same. Pull the backup fuse under the dash for 1-2 min. This will let it re-learn the new temps. After 1 day it didn't do it again. Idle is normal now. Or you can grab a screw driver and use the handle end to tap the map sensor a half dozen times. Helped me onetime.
