You mean the car sputters and wants to die when you come to a stop? This is likely a vacuum leak. You can visually inspect all the vacuum lines under the hood to maybe spot it, but you will need a cheap scan tool to narrow down the answers to your car troubles. You could try smoke tests too, but it's a lot of hassle chasing stuff down without a scanner.
