I had a similar issue about two years ago and replaced the catalytic converter. Just today (9/25/10), my 2003 Volvo S60 began to irregularly stall while driving. While I'm slowing down, it downshifts by it self, and just dies, and while I'm slowing down, the warning indicators on the dash are not lit, as if nothing is wrong, but when come to a complete stop all the lights on the dash are lit. The check engine light then comes on, it wasn't on before this happened. This can be very dangerous when you are slowing down to turn at an intersection. The car stall, you have no power steering and you are dead in the middle of traffic. This happened no less than 10 time while I was driving today.
