First started with light coming on three and four cylinder misfire, changed plugs wires, camshaft sensor, felt like it was not getting fuel. Changed the fuel pump and filters, ran great for two days, no codes. Ran car in driveway for a few minutes and stalled out, tried restarting and no problem with starting heard the fuel pump, then stalled again. Help.

Hello,

Is sounds like the IAC motor is dirty or weak and it needs to be replaced, but first lets try cleaning it.

Please run some tests and get back to us we are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
