Car Died 5 Times Coming Home
I was on my way home, and my car stalled at a light when coming to a stop, each time I started it back up and started moving again. But then it stalled agai at each stop light (5) on the way home. I just installed a new thermostat (180*) to replace my 160* thermostat that was runnig my car too rich. I don't see what could've gone wrong since then.
Oh btw, this happened before a few times, a shop said hey set the IAC speed back to normal and cleaned it out, it happened once right after I got the car back, and then it was fine until now. That was about 5-6 months ago.

I've now replaced the IAC valve ($96 part), and the stalling has stopped, but the car has a significant drop in power and sometimes takes 5-6 times to start, it cranks and you think it is going to start, but it dies as soon as it reaches 1k RPM.
