Default Stalling

Has anyone heard of or had an instance where their Crossfire tries to stall when sitting at a stop light, etc.? On the highway and while moving the car is running great, but when I come to a stop it acts like it is running out of gas. If I put it in neutral the engine smoothes out and runs fine. Any ideas? Thanks.

I would hazard a guess that it is the TPS. I am not sure on these cars if there are low speed idle jets, that is what caused stalling on another fuel injected car I had.
(TPS is throttle position sensor)

Could be the idle speed motor going bad.

Mine does this too but only occasionally. It has never actually stalled and smooths out after about 10 seconds.

I had this happen in my ML320 (same engine). The problem was first noticed when I came to a stop at a light and it would almost die. within a short amount of time it started to occationally die. A week or so latter if bacame very hard to re-start and the check enine light came on. It urned out to be the crankshaft psoition sensor which is located at the rear of the eingine just behind the throttle body. this is easily fixed yourself if you are out of warranty.
