Default Car stalling at Warm Startup



During warm starts and at Idle my car has been dropping in revs and oil pressure. It has also recently stalled a couple of times at warm starts. It doesn't stall in the video but it does the same thing and the revs go to zero. I am not giving it any gas in the video.

This does not happen at cold starts. This also does not happen while I'm coasting to a stop out of gear, but when I come to a stop it'll do this a lot as well.

There are no new mods, only the exhaust that's been on for 5 years. The oil level is fine. It's not leaking oil, not burning it. Car has a bit over 100,000 miles on it. I have not changed the spark plugs yet but will do that very soon. Air filters are 6 months and old look clean. Battery is a year old. There are no CEL's.

Any ideas what this could be?

Have you disconnected the battery recently? If so, it will take your car a number of warm restarts to relearn the idle point.

I have not disconnected the battery since I installed a new one last year.

I'd def pull at least 1 plug, ck for wear and color,etc.

Also if you have a meter, test resistance on coolant temp sender both hot and cold.

Was this issue ever resolved? I'm having the same issue with my 03' (117k kms ~ 73k mi)

I'm thinking it could be a mass airflow sensor issue...any thoughts?
