Help me- Car dies at slowing stop

Hey I need some help here. I got a 1988 camaro RS 5 speed and when i approach a stop of any kind and put the car in neutral or even so much as push in the clutch the car dies. The car idles great at a stop but for some reason beyond me whenever i come to a abrupt stop the engine revs down to 400 or even 300 rpms and dies. At normal idle i have it set at 750. Also, i have a electrical problem somewhere that lights up the service engine soon light and the car will always die no matter what situation. When this happens, i simply restart the engine and the lights gone and she runs fine again. These two problems i do not believe are connected, but you tell me.

Thank you

if you need any more info post and il reply

Change your fuel filter and then run some injector cleaner. My car did that one day when I bought a bad batch of gasoline that clogged my filter.
