No the car drives just fine until I come to a stop lite or sign. It just idles to down and stops,but restarts fine. The engine dosen't seem to be under any load. I am giong to check the distributor ,and see if the bushing is bad .while I have it apart I am going to change the modual(?).

It sounds like a locked up torque converter.imo
My vehicle acted the same way. Died at stop signs/lights. drove me nuts trouble shooting. Put it on a dyno and the guys picked it up right away. Could be the torque conv also.... just giving you my expereince.
good luck.
