I drive a 97 Ford Ranger and lately i have had a major problem. I will start my car and begin to drive... as soon as i put the clutch in to coast to a stop the car shuts off. It doesnt shut off while im changing gears though, only when coming to a stop and only until the car heats up. How can i fix this problem?

Do you have power brakes? You could have a vacuum leak in the booster. Start it up and just press in on the brake pedal. If it dies then this may be your problem.
