So, My 2001 Saturn L-series doing something weird. It starts no problem, but sometimes when I am at a stop sign or light it just dies. It starts agian with no problems right away. We tested the alternator and battery and both passed. The problem seems random as well. Some days it does fine, others it dies at every single stop light. Any ideas?

You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.
