Question motor turns off

can anyone help? after 30 minutes of driving doesnt matter if on the highway or not the motor a 4.2 v6 1987 automatic 3 speed just shuts off, but only when coming to a stop. Turn the key all the way off then restart and it will run but with a rough idle wanting to stall in mid travel on or off the highway but now whenever you come to a stop, idle under 800 rpms. Found though if you put it in neutral and rev the motor between 1200 to 3000 it wil continue running.

any hints or ideas please reply
