this just started a few days ago, but when i cold start my car its fine but when it gets hot It has this really rough idle. Once it wamrs up and i drive around town, it will still shut off at when i come to a stop. It won't always shut off but it has that rough idl and tries to. I have to put the car in N and gas it. Once i get going the car is fine? o yea no check engine light?
 
lol my bad. well is your exhaust manifold in good condition? cuz maybe if it has a crack once it heats up it is making it run bad
 
Well if there is a crack and it heats up usually it will expand the mani and seal up ( my previous 2 manis did this) I would say wastegate too first, but now i will say EGR.
 
my exhaust manifold is in good condition and i have no check engine light like really this car is makin put on fire
 
i agree with powderider87, try taking off the egr valve and pipe and clean them with carb cleaner or some type of cleaner. could be carbon build up. i did it to my intake manifold, egr and the tube and wow what a difference. oh yeah, sea foam that mother too.
