Try looking into your timing of the engine is it properly timed is you distributor good if you have passed out 160k in miles try replacing the distributor system and get the engine properly timed
if that doesnt work look at your fuel pump if it is electircal and it doesnt hum when the key is in the on pos... then replace that you should be ok from there make sure your oils and plugs are good and play close attention to you ignition plug wires good luck

My 98 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 318 in it will stall at stop streets only when it is at operating temp. When it is cold it will not stall. The Truck runs good down the road.

Sounds as if you may have a MAP sensor reading incorrectly when warm and causes the stalling. You may also have a vacuum leak that is not noticeable during warm up or while driving.

Hello, I live in Minnesota and during the winter, I warm my car for about 10-15 minutes before I drive it, and then drive. After driving to my destination, I turn off the engine. If try to turn on again,...

hello fellow Minnesotian... I would start by having battery cables checked. Reason; when cold they contract and make good contact, after they warm up they expand a little and loosen up just enough to lose contact surface. Clean them both at battery and lower contact points. Especially lower points, they're exposed to grease, road grime and snow, slush & road salt.
