Im not sure about anyone elses, but my idle problem turned out to be a bad head gasket and due to that I was loosing compression in cylinder 1, so when I was at a stop light it didn't have the power to keep it going. My advice to all of you out there with problems is to check your compression because if it is that, the longer you put it off, the worse it gets and you could possibly end up with a cracked head.
