dirty plugs, clogged fuel filter, damaged coil pack(s) - any or more of these might lead to that...hope you get it fixed...and at least your gal was willing to stear it lol

if a coil pack is bad the engine should still run..it would have one heluva vibration...the packs are located on top of each cylinder...little electronic piece..normally black.....is the engine actually trying to turn over and it just won't?

normally a vacuum leak would make it stall, check hoses, but if not,
clean your throttle body, shold stop it from stalling at lights.
cam position sensor would make it not start back up, i know from experience, but it should eventually turn on.
check your codes and come back to us with pictures
