Default Help! 2003 350 Z loses power after idle

Hey guys. I was hoping someone could help me. I have a 2003 350 Z Touring. Last week, I noticed in the hot weather after idling at a light, I tried to pull into a drive way and the car was sluggish and had no power to even get up the driveway. I turned the car off and back on and it worked fine. In addition, the VDC, check engine light and oil light came on briefly. I brought it in to a repair shop, had belts replaced, oil changed and a new air filter and the car ran like a champ. For a few days at least. Yesterday, in 100 degree weather, while idling it did it again 2X. The same lights came on on the dash. When it's running, it runs great with full power. Has this happened to anyone?

Thanks in advance!

Hey there, thenks for the response. I didn't see anything but the SLIP, VDC and Check Engine Soon lights come on. I didn't see any codes. Just very sluggish. I step on the gas and it the RPMs barely move but as soon as I start it up again, it's fine.
