Problem with my car is that after driving it like twenty five to thirty minutes when I slow down for breakers on road or in traffic the engine shuts off after a little vibration. It happens only if gear is in D mode or in R mode, in parking mode or in N mode the car is just fine. I took it many times to workshops the mechanics changed many parts the steering box, power pump, plugs but still the problem remains. The car is not over heating it does not have any other issue. Can you give me any idea what the problem is?

If you vehicle is fuel injected then I would recommend replacing the electric idle speed control valve.

If has a carburetor, then find a good carburetor shop to see if they can adjust the idle or need the carburetor rebuilt. There is also a mechanical idle control valve that needs to be checked. Let us know what they find.
