94 Lexus ES300 V6, engine stalls 50 180 seconds after car starts(maybe coolant sensor? as car heats up?), but i will look at throttle and idle areas to see if grimed up, only 47K miles, at stop light i have to put it into low gear(automatic tx) as first gear slips in Drive, the only code i have is the Shift solenoid "A" electrical code. I have been getting by since august 2023 shortly after i bought it so i am hoping the issue is fuel,air, spark, sensors and not tranny, what do u think? Wish u were near greensboro nc, i like your logic based explanations!

94 ES 300, only 47K miles, new to me sonce August 2023, but good prior maintenace per Carfax
Disconnected battery 45 min, now not stalling
I idled and put it in low drive reverse and park for an hour, no stall, maybe electrical glitch at terminal cables, maybe the seafoam i put in gas tank is cleaning some internal sensors? Only code still the shift solenoid "A" Electrical. Then i drove it around the cul de sac for ten minutes, cut it off and drove it another 5 min, all normal but I m dizzy, lol. I ll wait an hour and see if doesnt stall from a cold start b4 veturing out of cul de sac

Thanks Blake

Or possibly unbranded regular? I switched from that when stalling started, now running non ethynol regular, non Also stalling issue may have been helped by new air filter , cleaning the battery terminals and putting seafoam in the gas tank

So I may run some branded premium through and maybe some unbranded premium see if there's any difference, My guess is that non ethanol regular is the cleanest gas and make keep internal components from getting so dirty
