Just about 2 weeks ago i picked my car up from my friend who replaced my TPS and alot of wireing to both the TPS and the ISC valve, and as of recent my car will start up fine and idle fine, but it seems like when i first start it and have to drive it, sometimes when im coming to a stop, my car will just die. I usually will just drop it down a gear and pop start it, and it will stay running. But it seems to be dieing more often since the temperatures are really starting to drop up here. So if anyone knows what it is, any input would be great. thanks

I just checked my codes, and it threw up code 31.. which was about my AFM. But i dont think thats the problem because my AFM is new, i just bought it like 2 months ago. Still not sure.

yea like shaeff said, it sounds like something with AFM,
i dont know if this is correct, but doesnt the car on start up dump more fuel because of lack of air in the engine, so at startup it would be fine, but once the car is running it stops that extra fuel for start up and will die.
dunno just a guess, hope you get her running good again, GL.
