It sounds like your car is having trouble controlling idle speed. I'm assuming it starts right back up again? This can often be resolved by cleaning the throttle body and idle air control port. You remove the air duct from the throttle body, and clean the throttle blade and throttle bore with carb cleaner and a small brush. Be sure to spray the idle air port to remove the carbon from the idle air controller plunger. It takes about ten minutes.

Check the cables to the alternator. Once the car cuts off the power you see may just be the battery at that point. If you don't fix the problem soon you may need another battery.
