How was the car doing before? Did it ever shut down while getting to a stop light or stop sign?
How long you have had it for and how many miles you put on it?
Also what kind of oil did you used in it, brand and weight?

Recently, (as it has gotten much colder) the car needs a bit of help ideling while warming up. it wanted to idle at 200rpm. if not warm enough, it would stall on me but no prob to re-start. I hadnt looked into it but assumed it was the idle control.
Had the car 6 weeks. I got the title in the mail the day it broke down. Joy! When I bought it, I took it right to my own mechanic and he did a visual inspection on the belt, changed the oil and gave me a list of things to start on such as leaking PS pump and of course the same side ball joint. Other minor issues. He did a tranny filter change, oil change, topped of fluids and new plugs.
He said the belt looked new and that it was good, metel braided, reinforced belt.
