Icon3 Eg just dies but will start up most times immedietly

So i havent had to many problems like this other then some ecu wires loose and not making my car start at all. but then i put a connector and thought my problem were gone but when im driving mostly at lights it will just die, mostt of the time immedietly firing up when i start the ignition. So not to sure where to start, just shaking around the wires under the dash with it on didnt do anything. Where should i look next?

Thanks

Is this just a low idle problem? Any CEL codes?

thats what i suspect at times, but i will even be given it enough gas to be at about 1700 rpms and youll feel it start wanting to drop down and die if you dont give it some more gas. the check engine light doesnt even seem to come on either, unless when im starting it up again which the battery, oil, and another light all comes on. my friend whos a automotive mechanic says it could be wiring but he cant come diagnose it til later in the weekend. Because it always seems when i want look into the engine it never dies just when im on the road at stop lights which is why i think it could be the idle cause freeway is no problem. I was told i could even turn up the idle and see if that helps i might have to try that next
