After warming up my X eng does erratic idle with the A/C off, some times the engine stops. Please tell me where to start.
 






Is the check engine light on??? If so get the error codes.

Second I would check for vaccuum(sp) leaks.

Your's is about 9 years newer than mine, but every once in a while two of my vaccum lines will pop off and the X idle is erratic.
 






Try cleaning the IAC. That controls engine Idle. Search for How to Clean IAC and you'll find thread with instructions and pictures!
