The car idles fine when I first start it then once it warms up it starts idling rough and then dies. Ill wait a couple minutes and it fires right back up and then does the same thing again.

Tried that it works better but it will still die everyonce in a while.

Inspect and test the throttle position and manifold absolute pressure sensors to include cleaning out the EGR valve.
