After the car gets warmed up, it starts to lose its idle. 1st thing in the morning it idles great, after I drive it for 10 minutes or so, when I come to a stop light, it will almost die on me. Any suggestions?

Take the air intake off at the throttle body and open the throttle plate. Clean the dirt out with carb cleaner and either blow with compressed air or wipe clean with a rag. Clean both the throttle housing and the throttle plate. You should also check the egr valve, if it is not closing it will also cause a rough idle if there is carbon build up on its interior.

could be a number of things but most popular reasons are the throttle position sensor or the idle air control valve
