Recently it was hot outside, I was driving at 60 km/h (2000 rpm) and I felt vibrations, as if my revs were too low. I drove up to the intersection, pressed the clutch and the engine died. I managed to start it with the gas, drove up to the traffic lights, the car didn't want to keep the revs at all, so that it wouldn't stall, I kept my foot on the gas (3000 rpm), but the revs dropped by themselves and the car stalled. It didn't start anymore (the spark plugs were probably flooded). Apart from this situation, I generally noticed that the car had problems with starting when it was warmed up and sometimes after warming up the idle speed fluctuated slightly.
