Check your vaccuum hoses carefully and the power braker booster for leaks.

If you have an automatic, it may be your TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) Solenoid. When it's going bad, sometimes when you slow down your car will cut out because of the way the clutches in your transmission disengage.

My dad had a TCC go bad on his old 92 GP, and it wreaked havoc on the operation of his car. It got to the point that the car wouldn't even start.

I can't remember how much it cost, but it might have been around $200-$300 for the entire job. I'm not familiar with transmissions, so I wouldn't even know where it's located.[:-]

on the Z-24, all i had to do was remove the drivers side tire and part of the wheel well, take off the side tranny pan and it was two wires that hooked up ina watertight connector. took a total of 20 minutes.
