Stalled My Avensis Auto!

Yesterday my 2004 Toyota Avensis 2.0 Auto stalled. The car had been sat in mid-20's sunshine, and we had the aircon on full blast. I drove off from a local wildlife park and drove down the access road slowly as there are speed bumps. When I got to the junction to pull out onto the main road, put my foot on the gas and it stalled.

Started first time and off we went with no further problems.

Firstly I thought it was impossible to stall an auto, but thinking about it, maybe I didn't stall it per se, but maybe the combination of aircon on full, warm weather and slow travel since I started the engine contributed? Maybe the gearbox made it to 2nd but the electronics didn't notice I had slowed enough for 1st to be engaged?

Should I be concerned?

mite have a slight 'idle sense' glitch i think its called...

basically the rpm the engine trys to maintain when your off the power, normally around 800rpm, there was a chap at work with an auto celica who was suffering this problem but on a daily basis, he took it to toyota and basically the engine was running a little to slow so they up'ed the parameter in the ECU and jobs a good un :yes:

but as said with all the gizmos running on full chat then the engine will be under more strain and possibly just caught it 'unaware' if you will

i wouldnt worry to much unless it persists as a problem
