It started after servicing and doing an engine wash. Whenever i am in traffic of at a stop light and have my foot on the brake pedal it just goes dead. It usually gives a bucking vibration right before it goes dead and if i put it in natural and rev for a bit then back it gear it doesn't shut off but i have to be very quick. Sometimes as soon as i start the car and about to drive off it goes dead. the steering gets stiff and i have no brakes. The 20amps fuse also gashes even when the gar is off. If i take it out and drive i still have the issue just not as much. I NEED help cause no mechanic or electrician seems to know what the issue is and i cant be driving it in this condition

Seems like the idling speed is too low. Check for water in the plug tubes. Have the throttle body cleaned and retest.
