Engine starting dieing while driving and here's what I've been able to do:
New high-end plugs and wires - still dies
New Condensor and unit - still dies
New Battery - still dies
New O2 sensor - still dies
New fuel filter, oil change, oil filter - still dies
Had computer checked, normal - still dies
Took to a mechanic, replaced distributer and rotor - still dies
Returned to mechanic, he stated possible the ignition switch, ignitor (I paid 300.00), he return the money and couldn't figure it out - STILL DIES WHILE DRIVING, gurrrrrrrh

Check the water pump for end play, the pump bearing might be damage and the fan willbe shifting to sides on deceleration causing the engine to shut down. Also listen for the fan not rubbing against shroud cover.
Had same problem, fan belt even jumped out of pulley onetime and I still din't get it. Until fan started rubbing against the shroud cover and antifreez leaking out from the bearing cage hole.
Changed water pump, NO MORE PROBLEMS of this nature. Good luck.

I had the same problem but mine was a fuel pump that was going bad or it could be a wire grounding our some where.
