I had the same problem on an Oldsmobile, which is the same 3800 engine. Does it die when youre off the gas coming to a stop? In mine the Idle Air Control sensor was dirty, so the car computer wasnt getting a right reading on the air intake into the eingine so it thought that it was lower than it actually was. in responce the engine adjusts the fluel flow accordingly and there isn't enough to keep the engine going so it stopped. clean the valve or replace it
