Why does my 2001 Caddillac STS stall at stop lights?
Prob same reason my 03 sls does, bad crankshaft positioning sensor, but only one problem, there are 2 of them so you have to replace both, i thought i had bad gas ,becuase check engine light wasnt staying on, but that wasnt the case. Good luck.
It is possible that your coolant temp. sensor isn't functioning properly. This will tell the engine to rev higher until the coolant is warmer. Is the check engine light coming on? Several sensors can contribute to this. Bad spark plugs can also contribute to this problem. Excessive carbon buildup around your throttle plate area can cause bad idling also. Hope this helps you some.
After checking all electronic sensors, check the computer

Can a car stall if there is oil mixed in the gas If so Is this possibly from a bad gas station?
Yes possibly but i would look for smoke as well since oil will create smoke when burned. I would think that dirty fuel that clogs the filter, or water mixed with the gas might cause stalling and would also come from bad gas stations.
most likely the alternator is dead and when the battery drops below certain voltage the computer for the car can no longer operate and the vehicle shuts down
Try adding dry gas into the tank at every fill up, its possable that water is some how getting into your gas tank. You may also consider changing the gas you use and the gas station you fill up at.
