 First thing to check is the OBD computer. If all ok then it sounds like missfiring on 1 or more cyls. If it is missfiring, then at an idle the engine light might flicker due to a sudden drops in oil pressure. not enough for the oil light to come on, but enough to trip the senser that feeds the computer. tune up might be in order.

need more info on how it behaves. Could be an Idle Air control module, it would cause stalling. yeah a tune up can't hurt. How many miles, cold or hot weather problems, etc. details on how the car operates can lead to a better answer. Could be something as simple as a loose wire, or a spark plug that is fouled.

Only if you have been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.

simplest think is check all the cars fluidis , , The check engine light . get a on sale oil chage , eswpecially since if your due for one, reson oil filter coukld be malfutioning or if it is a new filter could be maluftion. For 12.00 oil change these procese of testing eliminating problems cheap.  . use got octane gas in your car i get rid of engine knocks. and after the oil chage see if the litle still goes on and off,  you may have to have car put on computer dx test. thats expensive. Check your oil level also, the computer dx machine varys $70.00 to $120. so the above are worth checking prior to doing the computer dx, which stilll mite not find problem, does your car exhust smoke?

 

Your map senor is bad or your oxdie senor one their both fairly cheap compared to taking it a specilested to have them tested I,m ASE certfieded to let you no.
