Re: 7MGE stall's ever so often....
The ISC/ICV valve will certainly use water temp to work properly. The colder the motor, the more 'help' it needs.
Those filters are not that expensive and only need changing every 50k kms so I'd just replace it. Any HP inline filter will do the trick - it doesn't have to be identical so shop around.
