Default RE: engine shuts down at stop sign/ light

Could be a couple of things:
Iv seen a fuel pump do this but since only at the lights it shuts off it's probably not that.
Try cleaning out your intake etc.. (Attachments)
Does the Engine does immeditatly? or does it stutter off first?

Try out the relay make sure it works.

it does it sometimes and sometimes it doesn't, it seem to be related to temperature, in the morning when i get up to go to work (5 A.M.) it will shut off at the first stop light but after that it is fine for the rest of the day, when i get off work around 4P.M. it won't do it until i have riden for a while and then it wil studder and jerk, but when i get to a stop it will not do it it will simiply shut off,

You're problem is going to be the throttle position sensor. Had the same problem with my old 99 Club Cab with 5.2L and my 01 Dakota Quad Cab with the 5.9L.
