My car cuts off when I stop at a light it like it idles high when I start it then it goes normal but stalls when I stop a light for a while. After I am driving for a while and the engine heats up it doens't do it anymore. I have spent over over $200 on 2 different occasions trying to get it fixed and it doesn't work. I have had a friend mechanic look at it and no one seems to know what the problem is. The engine light is on it has cut off before on its own but when the car cuts off it comes on and stays on after cutting off on me a few times. I just really need to know what the problem is so I can get it fixed and stop wasting money and its not fixing the problem please help

Thanks. I will definitley have those issues looked at this weekend and let you know. When it rains, water is getting in my car on the passenger side really bad I have been dealing with it all weekend.I don't think so but I though I would ask it that could possibly have anything to do with any of those issues?
