it sounds like you have a bad starter..

Actually, I have this problem too. My car is fine on the highway, but when I stop or slow down it hesitates, or dies on me. Driving less than 20 miles, especially in slow traffic, no problem. We have replaced the fuel filter, pump, pieces of rusty fuel line. It has gotten better, but we still have problems. Next in line are the spark plugs, wires and electric trigger. Anyone else have any ideas?
