Car dying while stopped

I was at a red light today and the car died.. I threw it in park, started it up again, and a few seconds later it died right before the light turned green. People were honking and stuff while I started it up again and drove away. It drove fine afterwards but what is causing this? I just replaced the air and fuel filters, maybe the injectors are clogged? If that were true wouldn't the car constantly run bad?

Is the check engine light on? Cam and crank sensors can cause the engine to suddenly die.

Usually the check engine light will come on if the car refuses to start. Another culprit is the MAF sensor.

Hey my svx just started to do this also. Ill be slowing down to a stop, the engine began to idle lower, lower, then it died. It starts back up no problem, I found that it does it in the morining usually, I dont know why. And Usually I can save it from dieing by feeding it a little gas.

Anyways right when this started happening I was getting an axle replaced and I asked the mechanic to check and they couldnt get it to die and they couldnt figure it out. (they never really drove it. Only ran it in Park.) So that means it only does this when your in Drive and stopped. Also I can feel the engine struggle when it does it....

I'm taking it to my buddy's shop this wednesday. He said it's probably just a dirty iac or maf sensor, but I checked the maf and it looks brand new. I don't know where the iac is or I'd clean it myself.
