every once in a while after i start it up if i immediatly try and back out of a parking spot it will stall out and if i am just driving away i will expirence momentary power loss and then it will go back to normal, it s just like there are bubbles in the fuel line. i am thinking a fuel pump issue

Will it do it without backing up, I mean if you just start it will it want to stall on its own.

Mine is doing that on the first start of the day, it wants to stall for the first 5 seconds, then it pulls out of it and never does it again that day, unless I let it sit for a long time.
 






no but if you tap the gas pedal so it will idle at 600ish instead of 1000 it will sometimes but sometimes the computer will not let it by reving the engine
 






miles - last tuneup - is your gas pedal hard to push initially then frees up?
 






just did a tuneup and does not do it all the time i am beginning to think it depends on the angle i park the car
 






Idle Air Control Valve (IAC)....just clean it. Do a search on it.
 






i just replaced it recently but i will give it a shot
