I am having a stalling issue. Every time I start the car it idles very poorly until it is completely warmed up. It will stall very frequently when coming to a stop. I have recently changed the plugs, wires, fuel filter, and idle air control valve. My mechanic thinks that I need a new mass air flow sensor, but I am hesitant to put the money into it. I found one at a junkyard and changed it out, with no change in the cars performance. I am thinking a faulty computer or maybe a vacuum leak could also be the culprit, as well as a dirty throttle body possibly? I filled up the tank today and I'm still getting 24 mpg, so i'm not sure how that might be affected by any of these things. thanks for the help!
