Default Cars dying while driving

2000 Mustang GT Conv

Just got my car back from the shop where they supposedly fixed everything on it but I took it out for a drive today and it ended up dying on me twice.

Both times it was when I was coming to a stop (once at about 15 MPH and the other at about 30 MPH)and the check engine and battery lights came on. I believe that the RPMs dropped down to 0 also but I am not sure. I have done a search for this, but haven't come up with any threads with any proven solutions to take to the shop. Anyone familiar with this situation?

Thanks.

If it's happening while your decelerating then the first thing that comes to my mind is a possible vacuum leak. If you had a shop fix it I would take it back, they should stand by their work. Perhaps they didn't hook something b
