Report: Engine Stalls when Coming to a Stop
Mazda Protege Problem
Model Years Affected: 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003
Drive Trains Affected: 1.5L 4 Cylinder, 1.6L 4 Cylinder, Automatic Transmission
Average Mileage: 81,073 mi (75,000 mi - 88,220 mi)
If the engine stalls when coming to a stop, check the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) level. Low ATF fluid level can cause the torque converter lock-up to stay on, stalling the engine.

Car drives fine but when coming to a stop the engine hesitates and stalls. I have been trying to look for answers but cannot get a straight one. I have found if I put the car in neutral when stopping it does not stall, or if I feel it being to stall I can sometimes put it in neutral and catch it before it stalls. Please Help!!!

Replaced the EGR valve ... everything ok, check engine disappear... for me i have already check the transmission fluid ! if your engine is stalling and have a low idle between 0 to 1000 rpm then look at the EGr valve theres a new model (canadian) before having other problems like a failing catalytic converter if not repaired !
