almost stall from reverse & drive

Hey guys, got a trouble shooting question for ya.

2003 Sunfire, Automatic

Sometimes when I put it into reverse and/or drive, give it a little gas, the engine will sputter and almost die. It's never died, but always comes close. When it happens, my check engine light, ABS light and traction control light all come on. To fix it, I usually shut the car off, wait a few seconds and restart. Never have a problem on the restart.

I'm thinkin bad O2 sensor....bad injectors......old plugs.....one of those (hopefully not more than one), anyone have any ideas they'd like to share?

Thanx

I would start by hooking up a scanner and seeing if there is a code stored. Do you have a cel while the car is running?

how many miles on it?
