Sounds like a fuel problem. The question in my mind is what things have you had replaced? It could be many problems such as fuel pump, fuel filter, injector(s), fuel pressure regulator, ecm, electrical fuses or wiring, or maybe just bad fuel. Try putting some fuel addititive such as Sea Foam or Heet in your fuel tank. If it runs better you probably are getting bad fuel from somewhere. Try fuel from a different station if the additive makes your car run better. These additives clean fuel systems and fuel both. If that doesn't make a difference on your car's performance then consult a dealer or reputable repair shop. Make sure they have the right diagnostic equipment to fit your car. Sometimes they get lucky and find the problem but sometimes they don't. Good luck!

Sounds like a carburettor problem. Last time this happened to me the rubber diaphragm on the vacuum system had split so at low revs (and thus low vacuum) there was insufficient suction on the diaphragm to keep the throttle open sufficiently to keep the engine idling. I had to try and keep the engine revving while stationary. It's a cheap and easy repair.

This could happen due to a bad anti lock selonid in the trans

maybe your engine idling is too low.. the idle air con valve is broken.. bad ignition timing..
when braking harder did the car die? if yes.. (above mentioned)

when cruising at medium/high speed did the car suddenly jerking?if yes uv got a fuel delivery problem

Check the oil - I forgot to put oil in mine and it kept cutting out at traffic lights and its now gone to the scrap yard.

If it happend to me, i would look at the fuel supply system.

The 1st thing i would look at is the fuel pump

Possibly the idling valve, or the pipes to it - they maybe dirty or damaged.
