Will it start right back up? If so its most likely your IAC (idle air control valve) Super problem part on fords.

i've had the same problem on my galant. I'm not sure what the part is called, but it has a flap type of device on it. i think it is the icv valve. anyway, over the years and miles it had a ton of build up which was causing the value to stick and stay shut. it would come to a stop at a light or toll plaza and just die on me. start right up again. it would also do this drop in rpms from about 8oo to 400 when i was at a red light. engine would shake as if about to cut off. \

shop took the part out to clean it and never had the problem again.

This thread would have helped me about 6 years ago when I junked a car with 68,000 miles because nobody could figure out why it was doing this.

You saying when your idle was higher then normal and you put it in D the car would lunge abit? Check to see what your RPM's are when your shift from P to D. Idle rpm should be 800 ish. If its higher then 1000 it might creap on you. Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal.

what does that mean or what does it have to do?
