My 2000 Taurus has started to stall when I am at a complete stop in park or in drive waiting at a light. It will start to sputter when I approach a stop and will then cut out. It does however start right back up.

Dont waste any money taking it any wher to DX'ed when yer at home turn yer car on open then hood and listen for any hissing noises if u here one it means u have a vacume leak, I have a 2000 ford taurus sel I just went through the same problem. My light was on for 2 weeks until I found the leak. If u have time go to auto zone n see what codes come up if p0171 and po174 come up its more than likley NOT YER FUEL FILTER OR MASS AIR FLOW SENSER SO DONT REPLACE THEM! CHECK FOR LEAKS, most common place for a leak is a elbow shaped hose located just under your intake it tends to melt or corode. If u have any questions
