My SHO has 117K miles on it and about a month after purchasing it it started to stall. At first this would only happen once and a while when driving and all I had to do is put it neutral and restart it. Now the car will stall even before putting it in drive plus while driving it does it even more so to the point that I've almost gotten into an accident. I've also noticed that when it stalls in my driveway it sounds like the car exhaled from the throttle. I cleaned the throttle body with cleaner thinking that it would help but the problem persists. While the car is on there is also a stong smell of gasoline but I haven't found any leaks. My ABS light is on also. Please please help my figure out my problem(s) any help will be greatly appreciated.

Idle problem are usually 1 of 2 things, unplug the MAF and see if it inproves, if it does, and yes you can test drive it a short trip like this! Replace MAF, if no improvement, clean or replace the IAC. As for the brakes, have the code read!
