Icon5 weird thing happened tonight

i was juss cruisin around and pulled up to a stop sign and went to let off the brake and nothing. i had my music on so i turned it down to notice the engine shut off. so i put it into park and it started right up ??? does that just randomly happen sometimes? dont get me wrong it started right back up and i drove away no problems (so far) just think thats weird....

Maybe the IAC valve is dirty. Clean it and check for loose hoses. Could also be a plugged air filter.

My explorer stalled like that a couple times while I had it. Never noticed any further issues due to it.

A buick I drove once did that... every 30 min on the nose. It would restart fine every time so I took it into the dealership, they pulled out the computer, I told them not to replace it, and it never had that problem again.
