What should I do with my car? It keeps stalling as I am driving and I lose power steering and power brakes?

I had my car looked at about 2 months ago and they removed a wire and the car quit stalling but on my way home today it did it again 4 times. While I am driving it stalls then the power steering is gone and the power breaks are gone making it impossible to steer and brake.

Removed a wire? Does not sound right. There are so many things that could cause this and it is difficult to diag it here. It could be a fuel pump failing, vacuum leak, idle air control failure or some kind of power loss.

I recommend you take it some place different as you need someone who will fix your car not bandaid it.
