When I drive the car for a long period of time my car will stall at a light. Will start right back up but once you put it into gear will stall out again. Have to wait about 20 mins and then wehn you start it back up and put it into gear am able to take off.

If torque converter is locking up, can cause it to stall at stop. Can you check for applicable mil codes? You should be able to check mil codes, yourself. To check for codes, you can use a jumper wire at the A & B terminals at the datalink connector. Then turn key just till dash lites come on, no further. The mil lamp on the dash starts flashing, you count the flashes to get the codes. Your looking for two digit codes.

How long since a tune-up? You can also clean the throttle-body and idle air control.
