my ef started stalling out when cold at low revs (under 500) out of the blue 2 weeks ago before had no probs. After the car has been running a minute or two if u slowly let foot of throttle it will surge and idle rough once warm it will idle ok.Now i have tried changing the isc and the tps but neither have changed it was woundering if the air temp sensor would cause this fault and how much one would be.
