my truck starts fine when it is cold, but when it the tempurature warms up it dies when idling. usually when i slow down to stop at a stop sign or when i try to start it when it is already warm. timing problem?? change spark plugs?? ---

``` First how old are those spark plugs and the wires? I doubt if they are the problem, but if they are due, then change them. I would tend towards the coil or whatever passes for one. They can become heat sensitive. ``` ---
