I recently had this corrected on my vehicle. It would stall in cooler weather (40 degrees) unless I lightly pressed the accelerator (only first thing in the morning). The diagnosis was an old/faulty fuel dampener regulator screw on the IP.

The repair cost me about $260 at an indy shop. Roughly $100 in parts...They also were able to adjust the fuel/air mixture at the same time for better running performance in cooler temps. My mechanic said that it may need to be adjusted when the weather heats up again, but not definite.

Since the repair the car runs much much stronger and I've got better fuel economy...
