After driving my vehicle for around 20 minutes or more, if I stop somewhere and cut it off or even leave it idling for about 5 or 10 minutes, when I go to leave it sputters very badly almost to the point of shutting off. I have replaced the MAP sensor. Any other ideas?

Hello,

It sounds like you may have a vacuum leak or the throttle body needs service. here are two guides to help us fix the problem:

Please run down these guides and report back. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? that would be great. You can upload it here with your response.
