Fit stalling when cold

As mentioned in a recent thread, I recently bought a 2007 sport with 12k miles on it. All has been great but the past few mornings I've started the car, waited a second a two and then reversed and the car has stalled. When I restart it, it seems fine and I'm on my way. However, I've got a few weeks left on the bumper to bumper warranty and am wondering if this is a problem I should have looked at. I know with older cars it was normal to let them warm up for a few minutes but I thought that was no longer necessary these days and we should able to just start and go. Perhaps my idle is set too low?

Thanks.

30 second warm up only

i'm assuming its an auto tranny and will not insult you by telling u to "give it more gas when releasing the clutch"

YOUR CAR SHOULD NEVER STALL once started no matter how cold it is

if the environment is friendly enough to allow you to start the car without any problems then...YOUR CAR SHOULD NOT STALL!!!!

there IS A PROBLEM

take it to the dealer for warranty work

as for letting it warm up for a few minutes
WTF!!!
might as well try some leaded gasoline while your at it

Thanks. I actually didn't let it warm up for 30 second but rather more like 5 or 10 seconds. I'll give it 30 and see if I have a problem.
