4.6is stalling when hot

Hey guys, am looking at a 2003 4.6is with 28,000 miles.

It starts stalling sometime after engine gets to operating temp.

It will drive fine but as soon as you come to a complete stop, the engine will stall.

What could the problem be?

At the indy now...mass air flow signal says the tech.

Hey Ed, am thinking if its a vacuum leak it would manifest when cold also?

Update, after a visual inspection of the air ducts for air leaks and finding none, I went ahead and gambled on a new Bosch MAF. It seems to have solved the problem!
