Check your connections on your battery and make sure they're all snug. Are you still on the original battery?

dirty throttle body...

It doesn't happen with cold starts but it'll stall on warm start-ups once you disconnect the battery with a dirty throttle body, if jiffy lube disconnected the battery at one point.

Scary. I wonder if they didn't your oil cap back on the first time around or even worse, didn't put oil in the car! Cars will run without new oil for a short time...

thats the only thing the dipstick didnt have too much oil on it before hand. so im assuming the oil consumption issue. i didnt check it in a while. i usually do maintenance myself. this time i had it done at jiffy lube cause i didnt feel like doin it.
but the only thing is it hasnt happend after that time at all.

i think it might be that throttle body
ill check it out today.
thanks for info guys. if there is anything else i can check for please let me know.

you guys are the best!!!!!
