Question Help with car stalling in the morning

Seems every morning now when I start my car it's fine until I drive off. When I get to the stop sign at the end of the road it try's to stall. I rev it a few times then it's fine. Has anyone had this prob before?

Do you thing the VAFC could have anything to do with it?

Or a dirty fuel filter? Cant remeber when I changed it but I know I did.
It used to pudder when I start it after it sitting for a few days not it does this every morning.

any other symptoms? i.e. rpm hunting, check engine light, sticky throttle, change in rpms with a/c on or steering while stopped?

Try getting a new pcv valve and cleaning out the IACV and that other past right under the throttle body. I dunno If I say you put a new breather box on as well if not give that the once over. I'd use some break clean. Be sure not to srpay it on painted surfaces.( I learned the hard way)

I have the same problem with my b16 ef. You go to take off and it starts sputteringand it wont go nowhere. You rev it up and it stops. It makes me mad. I dont think its the fuel filter because i changed mine last week and its still doing it. If you find out what it is pm me and let me know so i can can do the same. thanks bro

No none of the above. I did let the car sit a little longer so let the car start to heat up a little and it was fine. So I don't have a clue.

its obviously temp related. could be temp sending unit. i have seen them give the ecu the wrong values and cause cold start problems with no check engine light.
