Stalls on idle, quits running randomly when stopping at red lights, sometimes will "sputter" while driving. Will usually start up fine on cold start but once the engine warms up, then the problem starts. The engine will sometimes die, then once it cools off a bit, will start right back up. When it quits, it's like something just shuts off the fuel and it kills the engine. It is getting fire, have checked plugs, wires, have replaced fuel pump, I have checked the catalytic converter, it isn't clogged. Also, it shows no codes

try cleaning throttle plate on both sides and iac hole with choke cleaner if it continues then check fuel pressure with a gauge, auto parts rent it.However this may need an adapter if it does a local pro will have to check pressure.

I appreciate the input. It acutally turned out to be the temperature sensor.
