The car will stall repeatedly when started warm. As soon as you put it in gear it will stall. Sometimes five or six times. It will always immediately restart and I can eventually get it in gear and drive away. This will not happen when started cold and usually only when you try to restart after letting it sit for a half hour or so.

What happens if you hold the accelerator pedal down 1/4"? Will the engine stay running? Does it tend to stall at stop signs? Finally, was the battery recently disconnected for replacement of some other service?
