I think this means your electronic throttle control (ETC) has a problem. The ETC takes the signal from your accelerator pedal to control the throttle plate in the throttle body. See this link:

Take throttle body off, clean Throttle Body with Carburator cleaner. I had same problem and its the ethynol in fuel that creates a build up in the throttle body which creates this problem. I did what a friend of mine said to do (service manager at Dodge Dealership) it hasnt happened again.

Sounds like lifters are bleeding down. Try doing an oil change with a thicker oil or even go synthetic. I use Lucas oil additive and it seems to work pretty good.
The Lightning Bolt is usually an electrical indication. A Sensor is getting an incorrect reading. Stalling could be caused by several things such as a bad O 2 Sensor, a bad MAS- Mas Air Flow Sensor, a bad Throttle Position Sensor, or maybe a poor fuel pump connection, or maybe an injector is going bad. Have your car- OBD Read- from your local Advance Auto, or AutoZone. They will hook it up to a scanner to give you any codes of system errors pertaining to your vehicle. This will better guide you toward troubleshooting and repair or replacement of necessary parts.
