Engine ?????

Car starts fine. Put foot on brake and put car into drive or reverse and engine stops. Drive car, stop at red light, engine stops. Drive car, brake suddenly, engine stops. ???????????

idle too low?

if it runs great in N or while its moving try increasing your idle speed.
Does it accelerate fine once its moving?

Idles fine. Doesn't seem to be too slow but I'll try it. Didn't have this problem until I adjusted the thermal spring.

So is this when the engine hot or cold, Turning the thermal spring too far would pervent the fast idle cam to set with the engine cold. This would cause a drivibility issue when cold.
