Default problems: high idle with sc400.. please help

the last month or so, i've been having problems with my sc400. when i drive and stop at like a stop light, the engine just dies on me. the engine has died 3 times so far. sometimes, the engine also gets very sluggish. if i stop at a light, let's say, my regular idle of 800rpm will drop down to 500rpm. so if i gas it again, it might take a split second and then the car kinda jerks but starts running again (sluggishly). i'll have to stop the car and restart it in order for it to run normally again. the idle on my car when it's parked is pretty high (1200rpm) and it drops down to 800rpm when i put it in reverse or drive.

i originally thought it had something to do with my fuel pump or fuel filter so i had the fuel filter changed. that same day though, my engine died it's 3rd time.

i'm planning on bringing it to the dealership sometime soon but i was wondering if anyone else had these problems or know what is causing these problems. any help would be appreciated.
