I have a 1998 Chevrolet Malibu, while my vehicle is in motion, it dies out while idling. Especially, when I approach an intersection. What is causing this problem?

car stalls when stopping, rpms drop off and you have to throw it in Neutal and rev. the engine to save it. On the freeway I notice sputtering but the high rpms keep engine running.

When slowing down and sometimes stopping the car for red lights, stop signs and turning, car will stall. Car idles fairly high when in park and drive but when I put the car in neutral the car stops idling so high. Driving me crazy and don't know if it's the fuel injector, fuel pump or what could be the problem. Anyone have any suggestions?
