Car has been running great for a while. Recently just stalled in the middle of the road after sitting for 9 hours on the packing lot. Had fuel injector cleaning done. Seemed to solve the problem. Turns out it runs good when it is temp is hot and car is hot as well. If I start to drive it cold, it hesitates and stalls and I have to keep pumping gas gently to get it to move. At the stop signs it stalls when starting and have to struggle to get it to move.
The dashboard message 'service engine soon' is now permanently on. Recently did all the major tune ups-replaced spark plug wires, sparks, oil filter, and serviced the transmission. If I run it for 20 minutes outside my garage before driving it runs smooth.
What could be the problem?

Have you had the computer scanned for trouble codes? If the check engine light is on, there will be a code that will lead you to the problem. Most parts stores will scan it for free.

Let me know.
