First ever random stall, 2003 Camry.

[Chris Kaye]

Hi guys, I was driving my Camry Altese recently, and all of a sudden I felt the car brake lightly by itself then it stalled, I was just coming up to an intersection anyway and needed to stop so I just started it again and kept driving, this is the first time it's ever stalled on me. It's not due for a  (6 month) service for another month, although I did recently get a new radiator installed. I'm worried that it may happen again while I'm driving down the highway or something, is there an obvious reason why it would've stalled randomly? Has anyone had this specific thing happen to them while driving their Camry? Or should I just get a mechanic to look over it?

Cheers.

Just something to consider is to have the throttle body and idle control valve cleaned. A few years ago, my 1998 Camry was idling ok at traffic lights and then would not idle without accelerator at the next set of lights a few kilometres later. Now it is something I do every 5,000 km service on my vehicles.
