Not sure if the 2.2 has one, but if it does:
Have you cleaned the IAC (Idle valve)...if they get sticky, the valve can`t react quickly enough to the change in load on the engine as you shift from P to D and the engine may stop/falter?

What does it idle at? .......700rpm is normal for a 2.2.

I would try cleaning the throttle body if not done recently....

When did it last have plugs and air filter?

think a light of some assortment came on after the stall, should really pay more attention lol, is cleaning the breathers an easy job? could a bingo caller do it?

2.2/2.6/3.2 - No Idle Control Valves

The EML light will come on AFTER the stall, thats normal.

Was it on when the engine was running?
