Question type: General

stalls at low RPM, this is an intermittent problem, mostly on hot days, engine
temp normal, recently changed the tranny fluid and filter, and upstream OBD

Get codes pulled and post them. All mechanics start with codes from ECM. Any auto parts store will pull your codes free.
