Default need help asap!

i have a 1991 honda civic DX and i just changed the fuel pump and distributor. the car runs fine at idle and under load but once i start to slow down to make a turn or to stop the engine starts to die out. sometimes it will keep running but most of the time it will just die out and then i have to restart it. if you know anything about this please respond. thank you

try simply starting the engine and press the brake pedal down (kinda like you would if you were to come to a sudden stop), if it dies out you may just have a vacuum issue
