I got my fx seals and gaskets replaced (rear engine main seal and valvecover gaskets seals) replaced
And my throttle body cleaned (i saw mechanic wipe and spray some carb cleaner in the throttle body includi g opening up butterfly to wipe some dirt) is this ok?
Anyways. The car sometimes stalls when start unless i give it a lil gas (slight gas pedal push) then starts and no stall once car gets going.

However this happened twice tho ( i started the car then it started stuttering and shake a bit then cel came on) i took it to the mechanic and he resetted it and no cel.

So i think what he did now since he cant figure out why it still keeps stalling after driving was he set the idle lil high but i now am consuming lots of gas and it sometimes lounges lil hard fkrwatd when first gear during tiptronic mode.

Can anyone help with this thanks
 
Your mechanic probably left a vacuum line off somewhere when cleaning the TB. Sounds like you have a vacuum leak and your TB is out of alignment. What kind of cleaner did he use? Or the cleaner came in contact with the 02 sensor.
 
The same thing is happening to my car I have to hit the gas pedal too but this started happening in mid winter and I just changed the battery before the winter
