maybe your torque convertor is stuck open??

id say the brake booster is fucked or if it has a exturnal vaccum booster for the brakes the could be fucked up

also could be the tranny out of adjustment...my dads elco did that, it wasnt downshifting til after it stopped

hmmm i just drove it for about 20 minutes in the residental (lots of stop signs) no problems but i am afraid it gonna happen again, im thinking its a tranny problem not a brake one since i had no trouble today. anyway i was alittle low on coolant and it was hot last night but had more than ebnough trany fluid.

Dont rule out the possibility of the Brake Booster. When you push the brake, it takes vacuum from the motor. If it leaks it out of the booster, especially if your stopping and the motor rpm is low. It can cause the car to die. If this happens again, try stopping with the emergency brake, its cable activated so it bypasses the booster. If it stops and still runs, then the booster and or vacuum valve for it is bad.

does it happen only when its cold?
