1997 Toyota Corolla 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Ok, folks,

The car stalls shortly after staring it. I drive it around the block a few times and no problem at all. Once I hit a hill and coe to a stop at the top for a sign, she stalls out on me.

It always starts back up right away for me. It usually does this twice and then it doesn't do it for the rest of the day. The next morning it's the same thing.

My mechanic has cleaned the throttle body thinking that it might be the cause. There are no other issues with the car. It runs perfectly fine. Always well maintained and routine oil changes for the entire life of the car.

Help.

Do you have a check engine light?

Check the idle air control valve, mass airflow and throttle position sensor-to include the EGR valve-

The check engine light is off. Hasn't come on once in any of these situations.
