Default Car stalls coming to a stop

Hey guys, I have an unusual symptom, I tried searching but no luck, so any input, feed back is greatly appreciated. So the symptom usually occurs during first start up of the day, or morning what happens is my car would stall coming to a stop, then id have to start it up again, the stall is very suttle and not even harsh..i dont even notice it until i try taking off..could it be the map sensor ? maybe my dirty CAI filter ? ..kinda annoying..help me !

btw -
brand new battery, new alternator, new coil packs, new plugs for reference. all about 2,000 ago. car is always fully warmed up b4 taking off

take off your map sensor and clean it, ziptie it, clean out your iac, oil & filter change, valve adjustment (intake .008, exhaust .010).

you dont have to wait till the car fully warms up before driving. start her up and drive. its better.

You have to push the clutch in.

Dirty/sticking idle air control vavle is the most likely problem.

I had this problem after installing my cai, later I found out that I had two of the vacuum lines switched. Try finding a picture of the vacuum lines and make sure yours are installed properly.

I had the same exact problem when my Missing Link got loose. So the intake manifold might have a leak somewhere, like a bad or loose hose, including the PCV hose at the valve cover.
