well it might be a ever simple problem to fix.. A new gas cap.. if your old one is not holding the vacum in the tank.. the is also going to cause you not to hold idle.. i will let ya'll know if this fix's the problem of not..

is your check engine light on, cause i know the two times i didnt put it on tight enouf, the check engine light came on, then i tightened it the reset and done... just my thought. What is it doing exactly, i have an old doge that stalls, i might be able to help you.. I know its a dodge, but im saying iv read up and talked to about 10 dif machanics...

i went to have my car inspected on friday and one of the test that they do .. is check your gas cap to see if it holds the vacum on your tank...

well my peroblem is that (and this had happened twice) the temp. is warm outside and the drops really quick in the morning when i get out of work and go to start my car.. it doesn't hold idle.... so i'll just rev it for about 30 seconds.. then drop her into frist and take off.. then when i get to the first stop light.. and put in nutrual .. she hold idle just fine and doesn't stall again..

i have that same problem in my car too.... ive been tryin to find a solution to it
my idle goes really low when i start the car some times but, then goes back to normal. and in the morning the idle is really low like its about to die, once i step on the gas for a little its fine after. anyways my gas cap is badd too, the smog guy said i failed the gas cap part, im goin to try replaceing it, maybe it will fix the problem. thanks for the tip!!! ive been tryin to find the problem for like 5 months now....

I had this problem last winter and my mechanic replaced I think it was called the temperature oxygen sensor. I am still looking for my receipt to clarify the part, but I suggest you look at it yourself or have a mechanic look at it. Once this part was replaced, the problem vanished!
