But today engine stops when I slow down my car.. after that happened I crank the engine and it starts.
You say it can be becuz of Battery or alternator, not about engine parts or fuel pump etc?

On the other hand, when a fuel filter is dirty the engine will first begin stalling when at idle and when coming to a stop. Thats when the fuel pressure is at its lowest and if there is a clog building up in the filter, thats when the clog will win the battle and the engine will stall. Under acceleration or while crusining the pressure is much higher and can defeat the clog until it gets really bad. Also, clogged fuel injectors.
When was the filter changed last?

I don't know what it is yet, could be alot of things, but when a voltage guage drops I first think of electrical stuff.

MAF could be dirty too?
Change the fuel filter, its a very cheap and fast job to do. It will rule out the filter anyway.
