I don't know if you guys experienced this.. This happened twice so far in the last 2 years and 3 months or so. First was niagara falls.. and once this morning.

Drives perfectly fine, and when you come to a complete stop, it just turn itself off.. all the warning lights go on. But you just restart it and its fine again. No funny noises what so ever.

Any idea?

This is going to be tough to diagnose considering it doesn't happen regularly. A common cause for this is the fuel pump or fuel filter.

I've had it happen with mine on rare occasions but it's a manual. I just figure that sometimes the revs drop a bit fast for the computer to realize it needs to hold idle and it doesn't catch it before it stalls.

I wouldn't expect this on a stock car but when you start modding it so things behave a little different than what the ECU is expecting, it wouldn't surprise me if you can throw it a curveball now and then and it strikes out. :)
