Sometimes at a long stoplight or when I see a long line of cars at a stop sign, I shut off the engine. If I take off too quick after starting it, the Check Engine light stays on for about 5-10 seconds.

Also, if I've been running light load and low rpm for a long trip, the car does not want to idle right when starting back up, and sometimes stalls out.
