yes, it mainly happens when cold, but it has occured when hot, just not as much.. I have a new fuel pump and pickup screen, so it is not the filter..
My next guess us the CP, but I have always read that they don't go out like that, that they either work or they dont

I am almost there, just need to figure out this stumble and I will have worked out all the bugs.. I no longer have a CEL, so that is a huge step in the right direction.

Man I can't wait til you figure this out. Mine is doing the EXACT same thing! I just changed the fuel pump and filter and like you said it runs a little better but still cuts out when cool. I cleaned out all my sensors with little inprovement. I was going to start changing parts but I'll let you do the trial and error.

I would definitely take the advice about the IAC valve. You can get the tamper-proof bit at walmart pretty cheap and all you need to do is get a can of brake clean and get it nice and sparkly. If it fixes it Great, if not well your IAC is clean you have a new tool and it only cost you a half a can of brake kleen

Yours might be different but look at the screws that hold the IAC on there. I think they are either a Hex or a Torx with a little pin, so your bit has to have a little hole in the end of it.

I'm having the same issue. Some days it's there and other days it's not. I don't pull out into traffic any more after it's magically appeared the last couple times.
