Almost every single time I try to stop the car shuts off, it all started a little while back and I can't quite figure out what may be this issue. also when it rains I end up having problems with my stereo..... the sound will not come out every speaker.

try choke cleaner on both sides of the throttle plate and clean the gunk off of it, that causes the problem you have alot of times.
