Angry Car Died coming to Stop !!!

Pulled up to a stop sign today and my car died. "Check engine" light came on and "trac off" came on. Started car and drove up to the next light and did the same thing. Tried turning the A/C on and off and it didn't make a difference. Car was trying to idle about 400 rpms. Drove for a little while longer and it didn't do it again. I searched on some of the old threads but I didn't really see anything that related to this problem. Anybody have an idea ??? Car is a 92 SC 300 with 75,000 original miles.

Thanks,

Shane

Check your grounding and battery terminals. If they're fine, check your fuel pump ECU. If that's out, jump the two terminals (can't remember which ones, search up fuel pump ECU) and find a new one.

check all of your electrical connects, battery terminals, and fuses. I've had that b4 just cause of one of my terminals was corroded and a little lose.
