Does your RPM's drop fast when your coming to a stop? how does your car react? could be as simple as a loose vacuum hose, bad timing or something very very bad =)

Thanx for info...
when i push the brake pedal, RPM drops normally(i don't use engine brake often, so brake pedal + clutch pedal).
At the moment RPM is on idle (aournd 700-800), it suddenly goes up and down couple times around 500. sometimes car stops running...so i cannot use brake as well as steering wheel....

 

It's probably not the battery. The biggest demand on the battery is the starter motor. If your battery has enough charge to crank the engine, it's not dead.

It's probably not the spark plugs. Bad plugs might cause a rough idle, heistation, bad fuel economy, but not abrupt stalling.

You say "car's ignition is gone". Are you sure? What evidence do you have that the stalling was caused by an ignition problem rather than a fuel problem?

 

Try this experiment. With the engine idling and the car stationary, step on the brake pedal at ten second intervals. Does the engine falter when you hit the brake? If so, you may have a problem with the power brake booster.
