ACCEPTED

Any trouble codes setting in the computer or is the check engine light coming on at all? Try starting the engine and use a hairdryer to warm up the computer and ignition control module. Being solid state devices with internal circuit boards they don't like heat and if the car stalls when warm that means either an internal circuit board may be going open or a connection at one of the modules is loose or poor (poor connections become worse when they get warmer due to expansion). Check these things out and also wiggle the engine wiring at sensors, the computer, ignition module to induce the stall.
