2 006 saturn ion cuts off when coming to a stop. was told I needed a complete throttle body assembly. This year alone I replaced the fuel filter, fuel pump and all of the injectors.
I have had the same problem happen twice with my 2005 saturn ion. It ended up being the fuel injectors had gunk build up so I had to get my injectors and fuel system cleaned. I add a bottle fuel treatment every other oil change and have not had the problem since.
I had the same problem on Tuesday. I ended up needing a battery, fuel injector cleaning and tune up. My car is now running better than before! I think it ended up costing me $400 for everything including a diagnostic at $99.00. I went to Firestone since it was the closest to where my car kept stalling out at.

IF THE ENGINE CUTS WHEN YOU BRAKE ALSO LOOK FOR AN AIR LEAK IN THE HOSE FROM THE INLET MANIFOLD TO THE SERVO (cheaper than a throttle body)
Testimonial: "I will check it out"
Look into you MAF sensor...
Mass-Air-Flow sensor... it helps determine the right air/fuel mixture based on the incoming air temp and flow AFTER the air-filter.
So it gives bad readings and it stalls the car, particularly when coming to a stop from higher speeds... it should also be noticeable when bliping the engine.
Sometimes the sensor's get gunked up and you can clean it with brake cleaner... delicately with a pipe-cleaner... or a full on replacement of it.
It should be a simple straight forward job... the sensor is in the air intake tube between the intake manifold and the air filter.
