okay so not sure what could be causing my problem, my thought was something fuel filter related. when my car is running and in park it occasionally will stall out, it usually happens within 5 minutes. but i don't really idle in park for that long. i was trying to figure out the problem and let it idle for 15 minutes and it didn't stall out, i've done all the usual maintenance and my last oil change was about 600 miles ago changed the filter and everything. i was gonna change the fuel filter but it's not that old, i've had the car for 2 years and this is the first problem i've had with it i want to make sure i fix this problem cuz i want this car to last as long as possible
