My honda 91 Honda Civic DX stalls or dies on me when driving while slowing down to stop randomly, suggetions?

Basically its like it stalls and the battery light comes on, and it completely dies like it would of stalled. It gives me trouble starting back up and I have to hold the gas down and hope it starts back up. Does it to me multiple times when just going a mile down the road. We thought it could be the fuel pump, so we replaced that still didn't fix it, ran a bit better but still stalling randomly. We are going to try changing the fuel filter for sure, but wanted to know if anyone had any other suggestions on what it could be. I've read it could also be a number of these things...distributer cap, IAC valve(idle air control) and cleaning the throttle body with some carb and choke cleaner, fuel injector needs cleaning, ISC (idle speed control) motor, Spark Plugs. If anyone has any suggestions or can advise from how my situation which of these options it may or may not be I would really appreciate it! Thanks!My honda 91 Honda Civic DX stalls or dies on me when driving while slowing down to stop randomly, suggetions?
You should of replaced the fuel filter also because I pretty much guarantee it is that. By the way my car did the same thing and I did the same thing as you. Replaced the fuel pump but not the fuel filter and one day later it stalled again. then I replaced the fuel filter and it started right up. Good luck.My honda 91 Honda Civic DX stalls or dies on me when driving while slowing down to stop randomly, suggetions?
idle air control or a vacuum leak. if you have fuel injectors, do not give it gas while starting it. a diagnostic test is your only chance for a real fix!My honda 91 Honda Civic DX stalls or dies on me when driving while slowing down to stop randomly, suggetions?
change spark plugs and wires, and change O2 sensor, (oxygen sensor)My honda 91 Honda Civic DX stalls or dies on me when driving while slowing down to stop randomly, suggetions?
