I heard that the government has been testing ignition cut off systems at some traffic signals for use in high speed chases. Maybe you shouldn't go there...

mine did that when I bought it. Turned out to be a bunch of crusty old vacuum hoses leaking and a huge intake manifold leak. Check your TPS/IAC and minimum idle too (look in tech articles). Good luck. I hated it when mine did that. Now it doesn't, but it does a bunch of other stuff i don't like (like knocking).
