first if it has a management system, is the light on, if so take it in and get the fault codes downloaded, if not and it has an egr valve fitted clean it out, clean out the idle air valve, and the pipes to it make sure they have no cracks, and they are not blocked, if it is a fairly modern car it could be the crankshaft position sensor, all cars need regular maintenance, ie changing the engine oil and filter, changing the air filter, and of course the spark plugs and h t leads, and periodocally the fuel filter.if the engine has a missfire on tickover, it could be a sticking valve, there are cleaners that can be added to the fuel that will clear the carbon deposits, because with the unleaded fuel it does tend to build up on the stems ans cause problems. i hope this helps

It sounds like one of two things. Vacuum leak. Run your hands over the air boot to feel for cracks. Also with the car at idle listen for a sucking sound. You can also get a can of card cleaner and spray it around the intake system and see if idle goes up.
Second it could be carbon build up in your throttle body. If you the all the stuff from the first one and can find nothing wrong have a qualified tech, one that works on your car make, look at it. Cleaning the throttle housing is something a shop should do for you.

the injectors r clean, but what about the fuel line, and the fuel filter, could be a ECU problem too, stalling at the lights, sounds like the engine idle speed is set to low

Sounds to me like you have an air flow problem. Easiest thing to do is replace the air filter (they're inexpensive) and see if it still does it. If so, check all the hoses under the hood and make sure they're all hooked up where they need to be. One vacuum hose coming off can cause your car to buck and stall. If everything looks OK, take it to some place like Pep Boys or somewhere that does free estimates and have them check it out. Good luck!

if it cuts out at lights and juctions then ur rev count may be too low, there's a cog u can twist somewhere that can higher the count and sort ur problem out, not knowing what car u have i cant tell u where it is.

there are three solutions, becuase i had this exact problem a few weeks ago. u may need new spark plugs, spark plug wires, and maybe a new fuel filter. all together in parts you should be lookin at somewhere around 50-60 dollars
