HELP

Got into my car to go to work this morning, started fine, rpms dropped and car stalled after a few seconds. It kept stalling whenever i wasnt giving it gas for about 20 minutes then it was fine.
Is this going to happen again??? Please help.

Well, did it do it again?

If the problem is persistent, you might need to check fuel pressure/delivery. You should also clean the throttle body and IAC air passages. I'm guessing that the IAC was doing nothing for you and the engine wouldn't idle well until it was fully warmed.
