past 2 days when the car is cold, i start it and put it in gear after about 10 seconds.
it stalls as soon as it is put into r or d.
i restart the car and try again, after the 3rd try i give it a little gas and it still does it.
after the 4th try it goes.
a few months ago i replaced the plugs and af/ sensor and canister. i know the latter are unrelated but is it possible that the throttle body needs to be cleaned or the cold start sensor is bad?
no codes

Well, heres what i recommend...
First check for any vacuum leaks. It might be as simple as a cracked hose or tube.
If that seems find the you might have a dirty IACV, TB, EGR, manifold, blah blah blah blah.. Get yourself a can of TB cleaner and take everything off your intake manifold and clean off all the carbon build-up, try to clean up inside the manifold while you're at it. If that doesn't fix it, then you might have broken something.
Good luck!
