The car will run just fine when I start it for the very first time, but as the engine gets warm the car begins to bog down with gurgling noise. Then it will start to shutter and then shut off. But when I shift the transmission into neutral the noise and the shuttering stops and it begins to return to the idle noise.

Hi,

When it stalls, are you able to restart it right away or does it need to sit for a bit? Also, is the sound loud enough for you to record and upload for me to hear?

When you experience the noise, have you ever noticed any dark smoke or odd smells from the exhaust? Also, is the check engine light staying on when the engine is running? One more question. LOL Can you tell approximately where the gurgling sound is coming from? For example, do you hear it under the dash, under the hood, under the vehicle, and so on?

Let me know as much as you can. Also, take a look through this link. You may find it helpful.
