Is it not a stop-and-go engine design that is supposed to stop? Too low to run the accessories and keep running? Many things are probably off, and a tuneup to get all the sensors. belts, exhaust performance, breather valve etc. working in unison is called for, but perhaps a loop on the interstate (plus pre-cleaning it yourself with a rag, having gotten to it via 2 screws) could help clean up the EGR sensor and get it cheered up until the next garage appointment you can make. Another classic reason is that the idle rate thumbscrew got played with, or a hole in the exhaust.

Why does it occasionally experience complete, temporary loss of electric when coming to stop?

Sounds like the idle speed of your car is too low, then the alternator cannot produce enough voltage for any electrical devices. When idle speed is normal or much higher, power will return to normal very fast. It may be that the idle air control valve is dirty or defective.

When I slow down to a complete stop, my 1999 chrysler sebring cuts off. Can you help me?

Possibly a transmission issue. The transmission has a "lockup" mode, where a clutch connects the engine directly to the transmission at cruising speeds. It is then supposed to unlock at lower speeds and for stopping. If it doesn't unlock, the car will stall at a stop. Try putting it into neutral (carefullly, so you don't go into reverse) as you slow down, if it doesn't stall out, it is most likely the transmission lockup mechanism.

If it stalls in neutral it is an engine issue. Bad idle control, bad ignition (it's easier to fire at high speed), bad fuel injector, bad air flow/pressure sensor... and more possibilities.

Idle very low then turns off

this is the cause.
Here is the common cause of surges, stalls at stops, slow idle speed, erratic idle speed, rough idle and engine hesitation (and other problems), it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.

Rpms Too Low

the idle speed is controlled through the on board fuel injection control module (known as the PCM), even if u raise the idle at the throttle body the computer will slow it back down, however there is a problem that causes slow idle, do the following procedure to correct the slow idle issue, follow it exactly.
