Every time I approach a stop sign or a stop light my car turns off. When I first drive it for like the first hour or so the car will drive normally. But afterwards it begins to turn off every single time it comes to a stop. I do not know if this is related, but it also stops accelerating when it reaches sixty miles per hour. It will still rev up but it wont accelerate.

I would love to know what are the main causes of this problem and/or how to diagnose this problem?

If it revs at sixty mph but does not go anywhere have a transmission professional check fluid level and for a transmission problem. He can scan it. For the stalling clean throttle plate on both sides and IAC hole with choke cleaner they get gummy and do that.
