Are the heater core hoses getting hot? Is the temp blen door moving inside to direct the heat? Is the blower motor working?

Fixed it. Here is what I done. The EGR valve, and hose going to the throttle body was leaking when it got hot. I added a little silicone around the EGR valve, and a hose clamp to the hose the connects to the throttle body. Hope this helps someone else out there.

You have a picture of the grill. Did something break through it when this happened? If so, check the trans cooler to see if it is leaking. Let me know.

Check the idle air control valve, MAF and TPS sensors to include the EGR valve.

With the engine cold, it will not stay idle without dying. If I keep my foot on the gas, it is ok. But once I lift my foot off the gas pedal to put it on the brake pedal to put into gear, it dies. But once the engine is up to temperature, it will drive fine and I can turn it off and restart it, and it will idle fine. Do you know what is causing this? Thanks.
