Car Stalls After Quick Stop

Same As Subject.
After a quick stop (ex. oh, sh*t, thats a stop light kind of stop)
my car will wait till about two seconds after i've compleatly stopped and stall. it starts back up fine afterwards. but why is it doing this?

This sounds stupid, but when this happens, are you low on gas? Less then a half tank?

Mine does the same thing man. If i come to a sudden stop, or if I hit the brakes, like that oh **** I am missing my 25mph curve exit. Sucks to have to throw it in neutral and start trying to recrank it while you are trying to get around a 25mph curve.

Don't overlook a sluggish EGR valve. They can get tired and not close as fast causing a stall at rapid deceleration.

What about the TC LU? Next time you're in your driveway, put the car in OD and let it idle, if it cuts out in OD and not D then it's the TC LU. Just something to check.
