So here lately I havent been doing much work on the car due to the heat. But lately Ive been experiencing a pretty good issue with my idle. Once I start the car(cold start) itll idle up and then settle down and do great, but once it gets warm, sometimes it will tend to die at a stoplight or such, and when I shut it off then restart it with it still warm it really acts up. Itll iddle up then itll just shut off. I usually have to drive it a little ways for it to idle again decently. Any ideas to what it could be?
