95 nissan pathfinder. Starts up fine, idles fine, drives fine. I can slow down ok, but if I bring it to a stop too quickly it stalls out. It is worse going down a hill.
Assuming that the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, it looks like the torque converter lock-up system doesn't release as fast as it should, so if you brake hard, the converter is still locked up and your wheel brakes stall your engine (just like pressing ******* the brakes with the clutch pedal released on a manual transmission vehicle). Normally, when you brake hard, the lock-up should release and prevent the stall from happening. Might be a bad torque converter, or a bad lock up solenoid in the transmission... Before jumping to anything else, i'd try checking the fluid level in the transmission and an oil/filter change in the transmission. Lots of times one or the other can cure the problem.
LOL looks like my words "hard" followed by "on" have been automatically censored LOLOL
I think I am having this problem as well. I just replaced the rear main seal and had to repair the crankshaft on my 01 frontier v6 3.3 VG33E. I lost a lot of transmission fluid and had to top off a lot to get back to the proper level I have a feeling I might've messed something up with the torque converter now. I've also noticed that I have a significant loss of power when I try to accelercate from a stop (feels like its slipping on first gear and then second kicks in and the whole truck jumps forward rather than a smooth start)

That happened to me too. But I was almost out of gas. Just a thought.
Here are the common cause of surges, stalls at stops, slow idle speed, erratic idle, 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
