I think I know what the problem is. Im all the way up in Illinios and my car stalls and does it again and again, so I can't drive all the way home like this ( i live in md) so I decided to figure out the problem, it ends up that the intake manifold or (plenum) was bad. on the other side of the throttle bottle there is a valve that keeps the car from backfiring. well anyway theres a seal that goes bad, and that causes the stalling out. now when the car is hot its fine cause the seal expands but since the weather has been like 8 degrees most of the time the seal contracts so therefore that leak in the seal causes the problem, no you can't just replace the seal you have to replace the big black thing under you silver cover on the engine, that part costs $422 yeah it sucks big time, but no stalling and I should have another 150k miles left on it, so I hope that helps all of ya out. it only took a couple of hours.
