Recently, I've had a problem when I stop at the light or start to slow down. The engine completely shuts down and I have to start it again. But once I start it and try to go reverse or forward, it shuts down again. Any idea what the problem is? Thanks in advance.

Start with getting any trouble codes: http://check-engine-light-codes.blog...retrieval.html and post back with the specific codes.

Any idle issue problems? What happens when the car is at idle and the A/C is turned on?

My first guess would be the fuel strainer is clogged.

I would get a $20 fuel pressure tester kit from Harbor Freight and hook it up with the gauge facing the driver at the windshield with the hood gently laid on top of it and see what the fuel pressure looks like when it stalls.

You mean when it stops? It usually shakes a lot, probably the engine.

When the engine is warmed up and idling, what does it do. Not after a stop, just at idle.
What happens when you are at idle and turn on the AC?

If it is low or stumbling, remove the rubber air intake hose to throttle body.
Use a clean rag with some TB cleaner on it and remove and coking buildup around the inside of the TB.
Check to see if this improves the idle quality. Do not just spray the cleaner into the TB. Wipe down the throat of the TB and the edge of the TB butterfly.
