remember guys, i just got my car running a couple weeks ago after a long down time from my turbo install. now it seems to be running like it did before i let it sit again for the last few weeks. i think it might be fixed for now. i wish i knew why the rpm drops so low when i stop and why it bounces around at idle.
Might pay to mention that you just installed a turbo ..................

Hi 9krpmrx8 SARX
I have the exact same problem, mine is 04 manual with 110, 000 Km
"it was cold, it idled fine and did not stall, it was only after it was fully warmed up and driven for a mile or two they it would start stalling.And at first it was intermittent but slowly started happening all the time."
what exactly you did ? Please let me know other because I have an appointment with dealer for this matter and will cost me $$$$
Thanks in advance

A couple of weeks ago after getting my car back from the dealer I had similar problem. After a spirited run, the idle would drop off and die. Sometimes at a light, it would die for no resaon. When it did run, idle would hunt between 1000 and 1800 RPM and not steady.
The problem? The dealer took out my MAF to clean it, lost a screw, replaced it with some oddball screw and really didnt tighten it. I took the MAF out cleaned it (again) and cleaned the grounding surfaces. Re-installed, TIGHTENED the screws and no trouble since.

Best reset that worked for me.
The best way that worked for me was unplugging the Negative (-) battery pole and going in the car and hold the break pedal for a few seconds ( Dealers use the same technic too )
I tried 20 break and also reset by odometers technic too. But this was the best, good luck
