A cold engine means it takes a lot less to cause the problem, although some days I've had problems no matter how long I warm it up, especially at an uphill freeway entrance.

It seems to be stalling, yeah, except with an especially cold engine it'll be extra hard to get it going again. Just now I had it die on me very early in a trip (I didn't expect the "hill" to be enough to push it over the edge, but it was at the start of the trip so all hell broke loose), and I had to let it sit for a minute before it would start again. Even then the engine was shaking like crazy, and I had to let it roll forward a little and then start it moving to calm it. Rest of the trip went fine.

The problem starting wasn't really a "give it gas", wheezy sort of dead (although giving it gas seemed to help), but more that it was stalling as quickly as it started.
