Car is cutting off when I come to a full stop or is sitting for about 5 minutes. Engine light is not on.
Hello
When the service engine
soon light (Also called the check engine light or engine management
light) is turned on this is to alert you to the fact that Powertrain
Control Module (computer) has detected a failure somewhere in the
systems it controls you may not feel any difference in the way the
engine runs, this can be the transmission or the engine or emission
system, there are fault codes set in the modules memory for these
faults. What needs to happen now is to have the powertrain control
module scanned with a special tool called an OBD2 electronic engine
control scanner or a OBD2 code reader. Once the code(s) are read then
you must perform the diagnostics for each code and make the
appropriate repairs based on the findings of the diagnosis that was
performed, this is called doing "Pinpoint" testing.

Here is the most common cause of surges and stalls, it is the idle speed control air-bypass valve and throttle valve, they get full of gunk over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.
SOURCE: my car keeps cutting out...
transmission range sensor at Ford!! called safety neutral switch at auto parts stores and is the same thing... The check engine light finally came on on mine, after cutting out intermittently for a while; the code was P0708... Mine is a '98 Contour and from what I see is in a similar place...to the left of the battery sitting on top of the transmission with a wire plugging into it. The generic "safety neutral switch" looks a little different in that it is not as much as a "diamond shape" as the original Ford part... but other than that the rest looks the same. I've read on other sites about the O/D light flashing with this problem, too, sometimes.

you may want to check your Idle Control Solenoid Valve if it needs cleaning. This is a common issue. If this does not help, I would ask for more details like maker and engine model.
