The engine wont idle when cold also may stop when you for additional Examples:

A.Engine Stops or runs rough when you at stop sign giving the appearance of running out of gas or plugged fuel filter.

B. Poor gas millage.

C. Check engine light may or may not come on.

D. Not changing air filter as needed can create the conditions.

This is all due to the sensor not detecting the volume of air correctly to be mixed with fuel. Can be a dirty sensor that is no longer unable to clean it self as it does so each time when you cut off car by heating the sensor element up to burn off contaminants. Special Mass air flow sensor cleaner required for this and how to instructions. Or bad sensor. Easy 15 min replacement job normally instruction in part box.
