Hi and thanks:

The car stalls once the engine reaches normal operating temp. So I have to keep my feet on the brake and gas peddle when I come to a stop signal. A friend said that my coil packs are bad. What do you think? Could it be the coil housing instead of the coil packs.

I would more likely think, you need to clean the throttle-body and idle air control.

Also, check for a dead cylinder. If you were talking to somebody before, if you stay on the original post, they will know that you are asking another question. Otherwise, they won't know.
