my car generally runs well, however after coming to a full stop at red lights, the car will shake and will stall out if I do not lift my foot off the brake (after 10-15 seconds). We've tried fuel injector fluid, had the battery and the alternator replaced and cleaned the throttle plates, yet the problem persists. I appreciate further suggestions in an effort to stop hemorrhaging money on an older vehicle :)

Most likely a leaking diaphram in brake booster. With brakes applied vacuum is used to engage booster if leaks then engine vacuum drops and stalls
