| try cleaning out your idle air control motor by spraying carby cleaner inside the throttle body (theres a little hole inside the throttle body which leads to the idle control motor, use a small hose on the end of the carby cleaner can to reach it) |
Cheers,

I had a simular issue, but it was 1 of the coil packs. When it was cold, car ran great, but with a bit of temperature it would stall at the lights and I would have to wait for a few minutes.
Try the suggestion from Nodg first and see how you go.

You may also have a problem with a TPS.
Mine was doing that, I replaced the TPS, and it worked wonders. Car runs the way it used to :D |
