Yup. Definitely the problem in my case. Thanks, feels good to be driving her again.

So in attempts to make my short trips longer I've been shooting down the highway to just turn around and head back towards the house on my way home from work. I also make sure to get on it pretty good. Today I took it up to about 110 and then slowed down, took my exit, as soon as you get off there's an intersection (red light), when I came to a stop the car shut off. Any ideas? I put it in park, turned it back on and it drove fine (no SES light).

*** Edit: Figured it out. The mechanic forgot to tighten the clamp on the intake elbow that's behind the MAF and it came disconnected. She's running excellent now.
