Default She's DIEING!!!

I was driving my car yesturday and braking from about 50mph the car shut off. It did it twice and I have no idea what it is or how to fix it. Any of you guys know what the problem is?

Does it only want to stall if you let the rpm's drop?

does the car idle normally? if not it will probably die occasionally
when you let off the gas (when coasting or slowing down)

Was it REALLY hot outside? I have heard of gas actually boiling in the fuel lines and causing some retty weird problems. Anyway, unless you give more info, everything suggested will be a guess. Cuz it could be anything from the ignition switch, to a bad connection somewhere to a huge vacuum leak. More info plz.

I have heard on here that people have that problem with a low tank of gas. I have not personaly had that problem so I don't know. I do know that the IAC will make your car do this.

It has only done it when i let off the gas(Push in the clutch) and from above 60 and start to brake. I have a half of tank of gas, also I live in GA and it was in the 90s yesturday.

clean the iac, put some cleaner in the fuel and check all your intake and vacuum connections, and pull a few spark plugs and see how they look

Ill check the iac and let yall know if that solves this problem. It's actually a really strange and disturbing feeling having your car die when your driving down the road.
