Default 2001 ES300 stalls immediately after start

New to forum, hope someone can help.

I have a 2001 Lexus ES300 Coach Edition, 67,500 Original miles, car is in immaculate condition with zero issues --> until two days ago.

Got in and car started fine, went to do some shopping, parked it, and when I came back 25 minutes later it stalled after I turned the engine on. After that I restarted it and it drove fine.

Same thing today, in the morning I got in started fine, then went to do errands and parked for 30 minutes, came back started car and it stalled. Restarted and it drove fine.

Lastly, the car does NOT stall while I'm driving, or when I stop at Red lights or Stop signs.

Any ideas on what the issue could be? Thanks in advance for any guidance you guys can provide.

If your vehicle has hard starting when it is hot, after being operated for a bit, that means your fuel injectors could be dirty/covered in carbon. If my description matches your symptoms, go to the local auto parts store and buy a bottle of fuel injector cleaner and put it into your fuel tank. It might take a few trips for your drivability to improve.
