I have a 91 buick century custom 6 cylnder. If I take the car over 35mph it will die when I come to a stop. It will turn right back on but die again when I put it in gear. I have to let it sit for about 15 minutes before it will go again. I have replaced the mass air flow sensor and the spark plugs and wires. What could the problem be?

Clean the throttle-body and idle air control. How long since a tune-up? Any applicable mil codes?

Just to add, if the tcc locks-up, it will kill the vehicle when you stop.
