It’s a classic case of this documented problem, and I need to get it taken care of this time. Basically, after driving the car for a bit to get it to operating temp, then stopping for say 20 minutes, then trying to start it again results in a rough idle or stall.

I’ve posted the TSB in a previous post here. If you have this problem, print out the TSB stuff and take it to your dealer. Free fix!

The problem usually happens after 15-30 minutes of non-operation with the engine up to full operating temp. This also occurs more often in colder weather, though it is known to happen in warm/hot weather as well.

Here’s the TSB information:

TSB 01-04-04

Be sure to get that exact information to your dealer if they act like, I mean, happen not to know anything about it.
