I have same engine and was doing the same . Check your icv ( idle control valve ) is working correctly . I changed my rotter arm and distributor cap aswell . But if have a coilpack engine you wont be able to . Also coolant temp sender can play up on thaim and cause cutting out . Simple stuff first best way check throttle body and pipes for gunking up also . Hope this helps

Take the icv out and give it a clean with some carb clearner.

It might also be your brake servo failing, does it only happen when you have the brake on? Try letting it idle and depress the brake pedal, if it slows or stops its your servo.

Did you connect the VSS? The speed sensor in the gearbox, coast down stalling is a classic symptom of this not working/being connected.
