Default Car dies

So, i purchased a used s2k in Feb of this year and everything was fine when i got it. Starts normal and everything works fine. One problem i noticed was it was idling pretty rough. I just put a Volt Stabilizer on and it seems to be idling smooth now. Anyways, I experienced my car dying right before a stoplight twice within two weeks. Second time was just earlier today. I did not stall the car or anything of that sort. I wonder what the problem is now? Anyone ever experienced the same?
