a little help please

i cant fix this problem....when the car is cold it idles like a champ as it warms up it gets crappier idle until the temp guage get about halway up from that point on it will shut off if foot is not on gas
car is driveable and everything works except for this.
also there is like a whistling/wooshing sound of air coming from right behind the air filter wondering if this is normal
s5 na

If I were you, I would start by pulling your codes. That could be anything ranging from poor TPS adjustment, to a malfunctioning BAC, to a malfunctioning water thermosensor.

i wonder what your whistling sound is behind the filter? could it be a leak?

i think maybe it idles fine when its cold because the car idles higher on its own...so its basically holding the gas down for you a slight bit.

Or if the filter is a cone one mounted directly to the AFM, the poster probably hears air rushing around the AFM.
