Question MT engine stall at idle

I'm sure this has happen to others on this forum as I remember hearing about this befor. After searching just a little, I'm still unsure of what to do. This just happen recently, I've had my 8 since september of 04 and never had a problem till now. So far my car stalled infront of a red light around 5 times already, twice it happen on the same day. The other day I was sitting in my car parked with the car still runing and all the sudden the ABS light came on by itself, along with the Traction control light. the only thing I have done lately is drive from L.A. to san deigo over the weekend. I'm sure a two hour drive will not kill the car. What do you guys think might be the problem? Should I get the spark plugs changed? I have about 35k miles on the car, or should I just take it into the dealer?

You're still in warranty so definitely take it to the dealer. Especially with the lights coming on. Could be the ignition coils or low compression problem. Ask them to check for both as well as find out why your lights are coming on.

Thanks guys, I'll take it in ASAP and keep everyone updated. I was really scared when all this stuff started to happen, it even made me start to think twice about modding my car anymore. I guess I just start to freak out when something is wrong, if only I can be more calm about these things hahahah.
