car shuts off...

hey guys,
i got a quick question
it seems every so often when i'm driving my engine will turn off by itself when i'm coming to a stop..it'll happen usually once a day...the decka nd everything will stay on but the engine just turns off and doesn;t jerk or anything...i also realized my car idles a little low...could it both problems be due to the throttle body needing a cleaning or any other suggestions??
thanks in advance

by the way the car is a 1998 2.3 CL 5 spd

So I have a 1998 2.3CL stick. I have the same issue, it will shut off on highway or just normal driving and I just got to tick the key forward a little bit and the car 'restarts'. Will they fix with 231k on the clock and me not original owner?
