When I'm driving my truck and braking during the stop light the car shuts off, this car is a manual transmission. When I'm slowing down and I'm on 3 gear and go to 2nd gear the car turns off. /. It's been doing this for a while but now the car turns off when I put the car on neutral and start braking the car turns off. I did replace all 4 oxygen sensors and ABS wheel speed sensor.
Do you

Have you checked for vacuum leaks as well as the idle air control valve (IAC)? The IAC is responsible for maintaining the engine's idle speed.

If the ABS light is coming on, the best thing to do is have the computer scanned for trouble codes. That way you will know where the problem is coming from. Most parts stores will do it for free.
