Q: Stalling at stop lights

asked by on August 11, 2016

My car has 95,000 on it and it has been stalling for the last 4 weeks. It doesn't happen all the time. It’s OK when I drive it to work, but when I get about half way home it quits at a stop light. Then I put it in park, starts up again then it’s OK the rest of the way home. Some days it’s OK with no problems. This happens every few days or so. I've changed the spark plugs, the wires, cleaned the throttle body and put in a new PCV valve. Do you have any other suggestions or ideas?
