Hello, I recenty had a tune up and had the transmission serviced and fluid changed. When the car was returned to me it started shutting off periodically when braking, particularly after hard braking. I took it back to the shop and they turned the idle valve up some and changed the gas filter and added a fuel injection treatment to the gas tank. I got the car back today and it happened again. I never had this problem before the tune up. The only thing that would happen once in a while is the car would shut off while reversing out of a parking space. What could the problem be? Thanks.
