when i go to start my car it turns on and then seconds later it dies. also when im driving it, when i start to slow down or stop the rpm's drop down to 0 and the car dies, and sometimes it wont start at all. i've already changed the fuel pump, fuel filter, ignition coil, distributor cap and routir, plugs and wires..etc. it would be great if someone could provide me with a small list of things that might be causing this.

thanks,

I have had similar problems and in my experience based on your limited info, it sounds like a few probable issues. EGR valve, dirty iac, map sensor, tps, dirty fuel filter, bad/dirty injector/s. There are quite a few reasons why this maybe happening. Could you elaborate a bit more about when the car dies, i.e. does it idle roughly or misfire, when you first start it up, or after you have driven it a while. Let me know and I will try to assist you the best I can.
