Last tune-up?
- If one was done: what brand parts?
Any noises or whine?
Did you have the battery and alternator load tested, not just tested for voltage? (Have this done when you go to Advance to have your codes checked)

Well it may sound unrelated, but those solenoids are actuated by throttle input via TPS.. So it could be solenoids, TPS or a worn throttle body motor side TPS that's causing your stop light stalling.
If you had a tuner and you raised your idle up about 50 to 100 rpms, depending on where it idles now, it should cure your stop light stalling.. If that works I would still suspect the solenoids were your problem, but you would just be camouflaging it with more fuel.

Spark plugs could use a changing but everything else I just did as far as oil/filter etc

I did have a whine for about 3 months but last week my tranny was rebuilt and it's gone. New torque converter cures that. I'll be changing those plugs by this weekend

Ford forgot to fill the gap between the front inner wheel wells and engine bay. This is bad if you live up north and drive on wet salty roads. Engine forms a white crusty salt layer and corrodes everything. I made my own seals using a couple pvc floor mats. Seems to help a ton.

funny you say that, cause I popped my hood and thought woah there's a ton a salt in here, damn that's why it's all rusty. I'll have to find the gap and seal it off

I've been washing my engine bay without taking anything out for years. at least Every couple of months depending on how much mud I go through. I just cover my brp cai with a plastic bag and spray away. 150,000 miles without any engine issues. :knockonwood

I don't think I've ever seen "brp", what does that stand for ?

I too have been washing engines with no issues all my life. People tell me you can't do that it will screw up electronics, sensors etc. never had an issue.

Everything under the hood is made to deal with water. You get a ton of spray under there while driving on the highway in the rain.

I spray everything with a degreaser, let it sit for 20-30 mins and the pressure wash it all. Just be smart about it and don't hit more sensitive areas hard.

I then leave the hood open and let things dry out for a good hour. Clean interior while you wait.
