Vehicle stall while sitting at light - car in drive. Car needed to be restarted. This happened multiple times in a row and finally was able to gas and accelerate. Let car sit for awhile, restarted and it stalled. Other times while idle - car in park, engine surges. I believe this is the throttle body issue previously reported by others.
