Rough Idle/Won't Stay Running
I hope this is the right forum for this post. My 3.0 is giving me some issues with an idling problem. When the engine is cold, it starts and runs perfect. After the engine reaches operating temperature, it just shuts off, no sputter, no rough idle, it just dies.
Upon restart, I have a rough idle, and the engine won't stay on unless I am giving it some throttle. After I let it cool down, the issue goes away, and I start all over again. I have tried cleaning out the throttle body but this seems like it is a sensor problem of some sort. Any input would great

Check the ignition timing. With a timing light (no one can check timing "by ear").
If you can't afford one (http://www.harborfreight.com/xenon-t...ight-3343.html ) a regular mechanic can do it for $100 or so.

I think you're on the right track bone collector. From what Iunderstand, there is another sensor that could be the problem at the bottom of the throttle body, does that sound right?
