Stalling in Idle

After the car warms up it starts stalling when it's in idle. It only happens when there is a fairly loud high pitched noise coming from the passengers side of the engine. I tried figuring out where it came from and couldn't pinpoint it, then it just stopped. It doesn't happen every time I drive the car, sometimes it's fine but it does happen on a regular basis. I have no idea what could be doing this, any ideas?

The location of the noise could indicate air leaking into the inlet tract. Try using a piece of tubing as a stethoscope in order to exactly locate the source.

Problem is that it doesn't always make this noise, I'll do what I can to find it though.

I commiserate with you. Intermittent faults are a bummer.
