What is your question?
Every three months or so, my car will act up when I'm stopped at a light. It will shudder and then stall. It starts up right away. It does this a couple of times a day for about a week, then it will run fine for the next few months. Anyone else have this problem? Could it be the change in temperature?

Check the computer for codes. It could be a Crank Sensor or many other things, such as a power relay etc, etc. Also check your idle system.
I am having this exact same problem. Also I find that when I go to accelerate from 0 it is not shifting gears properly from the 1st to 2nd gears, once I get going it is fine. Mine shakes and stalls at red lights and in the morning sometimes when I am reversing.
Turns out that I need to clean the Mass Air Flow sensor. It was pretty easy, you need to buy MAF cleaner from an auto parts store and follow the directions. There is unfortunately a dearth of photos on how to do this. I'll take pictures next time. Apparently it's a good thing to do every time you change the air filter.
