1991 Buick Century 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

As long as I am driving, the car is fine, when I slow down using the brakes, or for a traffic light, the car kills. It will restart but when I put it in gear to drive, it kills again. I been told several things could be wrong, catalytic converter, bad head, thermostat.
Please help.
