Have you tried turning the ignition off and back on as soon as the slowing begins, while still moving? Of course you should not turn the key far enough to lock the steering. :-) You could try running with the O2 sensor disconnected. Other usual suspects: Throttle switch, AFM, temp sensor 2 Good luck.
