Hey guys,
99 olds cutless gl, 3.1 engine, 120k miles. I've read through a bunch of post but am still confused as to what me problem could be. Car starts up fine when cold. It seems after the engine warms up,( going to the store then coming out to leave), the car will start up then stalls. It might do this a couple times then stays running ok. What ever is causing this seems to be affected once the engine warms up. Anyone got any ideas on what I could check for and the order in which I should check. BTW, the car is showing no codes! Thanks for any help!

Try cleaning the throttle body and iac , for starters.

/max,
Thanks for the info. That sounds like a good place to start. Can I use carb cleaner once I get those things apart? Thanks again for the help.
