I've had this issue for some time now. At first my car would sort of hesitate when accelerating. I was told I needed a tune up, which I did. Then my car began stalling at stop lights. I was informed I had the wrong spark plugs installed, they were changed and the stalling issue has stopped. My car still hesitates when accelerating, and occasionally it sputters a little when I am stopped, but never shuts off. This only happens when I am stopped and the car is still in drive, when driving or when the car is in park, I have no problems. I was told this may be an electrical issue, but it's been an issue for a year that no one can seem to find a permanent solution to. Please help.

It could be electrical, but to me it doesn't. Has the check engine light ever come on? Also, have you ever checked for vacum leaks? That is where I would start unless the check engine light has come on.
