When driving, car will shut off but restart immediately afterwards. When coming to a stop, engine idles down and turn off.

I would service the throttle body first and then clear the codes. Here is a video to help you. Same style of engine as what you have.

Let me know and please upload a short video of the throttle body so I can see it.
