Default Engine stalls at red lights

I have a 2008 sebring 4 cyl auto with 150+ miles on it. I got it used and it worked for a year without issues. Then it started to stall at red lights or when driving in a parking lot. I did get an engine code but it was for an evap leak (fixed) I replaced the plugs ,wires and coil. Problem solved for 2 weeks car was fine then started doing same thing. Replaced the coil and it was better. Now 2 weeks later its back. An I just getting bad coils or is something causing them to burn up???
Is there something else I should be looking at?

Thanks fred

Default i'm driving it now

in order to dianose the issue i started driving the car myself.
it starts with no issue and drives fine. when you get to a stop light the idle will stuble once maybe twice before its green again.

i noticed a loud knok in the front - tie rods are shot - need to fix that asap befor idle issue

if you had to chose -whitch is more likly bad egr or idle motor???


thanks fred
