Heat-related idle problem??? Car stalls...

[nastynas]

I don't know what's going on with my '90 Talon TSI. I just bought the car not too long ago, but it's been sitting in my drive way waiting for new brakes. Anyways, yesterday I started it up to let my friend check out the engine. I let it idle for about 10 minutes maybe, and then out of nowhere it started "sputtering" and eventually stalled. I tried starting it up again, and it did th e same thing... and again... and again.... So i left it for about 2 or 3 hours and went back to the car, and again it idled for approximately 10 mintues and then began to stall over and over again. I couldn't keep the car idling for more than 10 seconds without touching the gas. I tested it today and got the same results. It seems to me like it only happens after the engine warms up. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this problem??? It's really annoying.

Check the coil resistances in your ISC. The coils sometimes malfunction when warm, but work in a cool state.
