Car Keeps Stalling
My car keeps stalling all of a sudden. It was fine all day, but when I went to start my car tonight it stalled. Started it again, then another stall. Sounds like it could be a throttle body problem? I decide I should go get some TB cleaner and take care of it tonight, even though it's low 30s right now, but I couldn't even get out of my apartment complex cause anytime I let off the gas, it stalled. Anybody have any thoughts? Is it probably a dirty TB? Can I clean the TB's without dedicated TB cleaner? BTW, no CEL or anything.

reset the ecu, either through the "gas pedal process" or unplug the battery for a couple minutes. Do you get any SES lights? if you do get those checked, have you done any recent upgrades?

So after dealing with this all thursday night, I was hoping it would be fine on friday morning. Still no dice. Call to get car towed to dealer, and it starts right up with no problems when they show up with a flatbed. Continued working fine through the weekend.
I took it in yesterday, but they couldn't duplicate the problem. They did an idle air volume learn or whatever that most people have to do after cleaning TBs in the DIY thread. It stalled again tonight after work once, but then was fine. I'm gonna clean my TBs this weekend and see if that helps. My guess is they're probably real dirty cause I haven't cleaned them yet, 3.5 yrs 46k miles.
