    My brothers old VP Berlina used to stall cold all the time. Esp if turning, just the added stress from the p/s pump and not quite enough rev's at cold idle. Try cleaning out your IAC (idle air control) valve.

    Mine does that, although on both cold and non-cold starts. It doesn't bother me though...

    My VP did that. Turned out to be the DFI module. Used to stall randomly. Well, not stall, but cut out. Same ****.

    Yes Cobez is prolly correct mine used to stall alot and it was literally almost getting me killed (stalling around roundabouts of traffic lights also hard to restart) turned out i had 4 codes, got rid of 3 of em and had to fix code 42. I also had a problem with my fuel pump it wasnt dead but something had to be replaced in it and Ive had no probs since, so I would look at the dfi, pump or your revs
