I often drive back and forth from Toronto to Windsor (400km) and after a long distance drive, the car starts acting up when im idling. The revs start going crazy and yesterday the car even stalled at a red light. Any idea what could be causing this or how to fix it?

more details on your ride are needed..model, age, mileage etc. Clean the throttle body + MAF sensor and do an ECU reset after

Its a 2004 2.0l sedan 5 speed with 205k. I cleaned the throttle body a few months ago

Mazda working with Ford caused this.. FORD = Found On Road Dead.
