Hello guys



Could any of you kindly suggest what possible problem could it be ? Past two weeks I have this problem on daily bases .



I can start car w/o problem but once I engaged gear (automatic) and press the accelerator pedal the engine will shut off .



It will choke couple of times and go OFF. Now , if I let the engine run for about 6 minutes till the car has full temperature it won't happen anymore . As long as I don't press the Accelerator pedal . After the engine is hot I can drive w/o problem.



Please advice .

If it is a typical fuel injected engine, I would suspect dirty or bad MAT or IAC.
