Car Wants to die Everytime I pull up to a stop sign or a stop light or at real slow speeds my engine wants to die the rpms drop down to like 300 and the best rpms I have had at idle since I got the car is 500. I know I need a new fuel pump because it whines when the tank is 1/4 tank or less but I know that isn't my problem because after I put a full tank of gas in, the engine still wants to cut out on me but it never dies. Do you think its fuel related or do you think it needs a tune up. I have not done a tune-up since I got the car about a year ago. Also this could be related to it to. When I am driving at a steady speed like anywhere from 20-60 my car hesitates like its cutting out but when I get around 70 and above I have no problems.
I have put a new fuel filter in about 2 months ago.
Any help would be great.

you may need to get some data logs on it. it could be a number of things like mentioned. could be the TPS. til you get it logged your goingnto have to just look at things like the wires and what not. try seafoaming the engine or using GM top end cleaner. then do a plug change. maybe take the throttle body off and clean it thoroughly. if its not been done and has miles on it, its somethign to try.
