Rough idle when warm?
If i start my car up after it has been sitting for a while and is cold it will fire right up. If i drive for a while and the car warms when i go to restart it after running into a store or something it idles real rough and if i don't give it gas it will stall out on me. Opinions? I am not real worried about his right now because i am going to be taking it off the road for the winter today.

injectors might be going out if youre having hard start problems after warm-up, hook up a pressure gauge and see if you hold pressure after you turn it off
Otherwise check for vacuum leaks, check your plug wires (my problem).

Re: Rough idle when warm? (vader86)
vacuum leaks could cause this? That could be interesting to see if that is the problem. Someone suggested that i could be having a vacuum because of my brakes, they act almos tlike i don't have pwer brakes, the heel of my foot usually comes off the ground when i have to stop the vehicle, with ASR disabled i can land the brakes to the floor and the tires don't even come close to screeching. I wonder if i could have a vacuum leak that would be affecting both of these problems. I don't think it is plug and wires, they have been done fairly recently.
