Car stalls at idle when engine is warmed up

I have not checked to see if there is a spark or not. I will get him to check that tonight too if the crankshaft sensor does not work.
When I was talking to him about the problem, he said there could be a problem with the idle air intake motor, with it being clogged. Could that do it?

U didn't clean the iac port out when u replaced the idle air control motor?It being clogged shouldn't cause it to not start when it warms up. That sounds like u said something getting hot and having to cool down before it starts like ur crankshaft postion sensor.1998-2002 Saturn s model cars had a problem with those sensors. Let me know how u make out with the whole crankshaft sensor.

We replaced the crankshaft sensor, and we could tell from when we started it that is was better. It didnt crank up so high with rpms, and then we let it sit at idle for 15 minutes, and it got above operational temp, and it ran fine. No stalling. And we drove it around some, and no stalling. So it is fixed!
