Before you have your airflow sensor checked, have your idle air control valve checked. If it is dirty, clogged or stuck close it may cause those symptoms and mess up your air flow sensor as well.

I had the same problem with my 95 nissan maxima. The Mass Air Flow Sensor went out. It is located on the left side of the air filter housing and it has a pink sticker on the side of it. Try removing it and cleaning it with some Mass Air Flow solution and if that doesnt work then you might have to replace it for about $250 but most autoparts stores have to order this part and if you dont get it fixed fast enough it will cost you a starter as well.

I have a 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche and got a charging system failure code pop up then all my Guages went limp and as fter a min it turned off.. what happened and how do I fix it?

alt died
then in 30min driving the battery dies and engine stops
the engine run off the ALT full time until the ALT dies
causing rapid battery discharge. and engine stalls.

do not replace the alternator with battery NEG lug connected of blow up ALT FUSES, never fun that.
or on newer smarter alts , it shuts down if 1 battery cell of 6 goes open or shorts, this prevents battery explosion.
so we load test the battery first. then if good the alt is bad. or we test the alt next.
this failure is super common , for 100 years.
we test the both carefully

the alt good will put 13v to 15vdc on the 2 battery lugs.
even at idle, and any dmm meter made can see that.

EPC light is constantly on. Each time I brake or come to a complete stop or slow down by braking my 2003, 1.6 Polo, dies completely and I have to restart the car.

Fault codes would help, but based on the fault description You probably need your throttle body cleaned and basic setting carried out on throttle.

Car started to loose power slowing down battery light came on and car eventually stopped. it will not start but tries to turn over

sounds like the alternator has quit charging,,try a jump start and check voltage at the battery after it starts (cables off)
(If it dies after the cables are unhooked ,the alt. is bad.)

New battery and alternator car keeps dying

you maybe running a slow idle speed. When the alt kicks in to charge the battery- your engine may slow down to the point it dies from speed issues, or because the over all voltage available to the solid state ignition goes below 9volts. (it's minimum requirement to fire)

Hold light blinking, check engine light on, engine slows down

check tps sensor (throttle position sensor in backside of the throttle cable) and map sensor (manifold absolute pressure on front little 1 inch sensor with vacuum line) make sure there plugged in. the ecm (engine control module driver side inner fender) and tcm (transmission control module under dash) both need the data to know when to upshift and increase fuel/air. Otherwise the computer runs default values and guesses off of other sensors giving poor performance. also disconnect battery for 15 min. usually resets aveo service lights if you dont have a scanner.
