Default CAR WONT STAY ON PLEASE HELP!!!!

the car is a 2000 honda civic ex automatic with 70k miles never had a problem with it until now. there is no modifications at all just a stock car. the car doesnt do it all the time but when it does it idles fine then it drops down to 0 and it turns off. then when i start it it starts right up but once i come to a complete stop it does it again. the check engine light came on and gave me a cylinder misfire code when i reseted the compter it never came back. any ideas would be great thanks.

Could be a problem with the IACV, or Evap solonoid. No trouble codes?

Might be a vacuum leak too.. Check your vacuum lines or just start replacing them with nice Akimoto lines.

Might be signs of a failing alternator.

While the car is idling remove the postive battey terminal, if it shuts off then its the alternator.
