Default Car shuts off when coming to a stop?!

I have a 98 civic dx and whenever I come into a complete stop or bearly step on the brake the car turns off...I was wondering is there something I could check? and i just replaced the battery a month ago.

If I were you I would first inspect the vacuum line going from the brake booster to the intake manifold, checke for kinks, one way valve failure, ect.
Also inprect your PCV, and the hoses conected to it.
I would then check for proper fuel pump activity
and then check for spark and timing.
