yeah it same happend with my evo.. its not bov. it caused by throttle position senor. so. i replaced those after that never had those stalling ever again.. it works for me. maybe you should try that. but its a bit costly.. by the way i was wondering how many miles on it when it started happend? mine 9k miles.

Before you go too crazy
1) Reset the ECU (remove the power line from the battery and let the car sit)
2) check your vacuum lines, especially the one to the blowoff valve, if one of those lines came off the car will idle terribly and stall..
3)check the intercooler hoses and DV connections to be certain its not leaking or something didn't come loose.
4) Check your intake pipe, MAF sensor, and Wiring
Its probably not the TPS sensor, if it is it might throw a code, but you can check it to be certain just in case.
What exactly were you doing just before this happened?

do you guys have the MR Bov?
While other poster's say its not the BOV. I think the BOV has abig thing to do with it. MR stalled my car like crazy. I got the APS valve and ive stalled once with it. I stalled on a theory of mine, so i dont know i can accredit it as a stall.

My car would periodically stall because of my intake pipe, it only would happen if I accelerated (loaded up the engine slightly) and then clutch in before moving too far..
Does it only happen when you build a little boost and clutch in, or every time you clutch in to come to a stop? Does it Idle OK if your standing still?

Just when I come to a stop and put the clutch in.Idles fine while standing still but sometimes it surges up for no reason to about 1200 and drops back down.I dont think the bov is installed wrong because its been in the same way for a while and Ive never had problems.Im gonna check all the lines tomorrow.I gotta go to work right now but Ill check this when I get home and let you know tomorrow.Thanks MalibuJack.

Oh wait.. here's a thought.. Have you gotten a notice about the fan controller recall? and is it the first time your really driving the car since the weather got colder? Its possible the ECU needs to be reset, or the fan controller may affect the Idle control due to load on the electrical system..
