Default Truck shut off while driving ??

I have a 2005 Ford F150 FX4 SuperCrew 5.4. About 2 months ago I was driving in a part of town I never go in and stopped at a red light and edging forward waiting for traffic to move my truck just shut off. Dropped it in nuetral started right up didn't think much about it and the truck has run flawless. Now this past weekend same section of town could be just coincident I was in the same senerio of edging up to a stop light and my truck shut off again. dropped into neutral and started right up. MPH was about less than 10. Is this something I should be concerned about?

My did the smae thing, electronics were all still running but no throttle response and had to stop and turn the truck back on...my friend took his in (which did the same thing) and it came up with an error code. i might still have it in my truck if i can find it. but mine hasnt done it in about 8 months now.

What does grocery stores have to do with it? Have you unhooked the battery lately? Everytime we unhook the battery on my dads 4.6 it will die at every stop sign.

Some grocery stores have systems to set off an alarm when a buggy gets out of range. The perimeter system has been known to play havoc on pats and other vehicle security systems.

Yeah I was test driving a car in huntsville,al a few years back and every time I stopped in front of this one grocery store the car shut off. It would start right back and be good until I came back around to the stow again. I even had a couple of other techs ride with me. It was crazy.

try cleaning the throttle body this was happening to my 06 5.4 and all it was was gunk around the butterfly in the TB and it wasnt getting enough air. also when ya disconnect the battery it resets the idle program in the computer and takes awhile to relearn it
