MY 1993 Pontiac Grand-Am will run about 20 minutes...then start to idle a little rough and as I slow down and apply brake it will stall. Then if I restart and try to put into gear it will stall again. What could be causing this?

Have you unplugged the connector at the transmiossion to see if it stops stalling? It sounds to me like your torque converter is staying locked and causing your car to stall. It is almost like driving a manual transmission and stopping without pushing in on the clutch.
