97 Civic stalling out when stopping

I have a 1997 Honda Civic DX with just about 300K. A few weeks ago my car didn't want to start and when it finally did it would not stay running. Finally, when I finally got it started the check engine light was on and it was idoling high and then would drop down very low and start to stall, the battery & oil light would come on when this occured, and then it would catch itself and start idoling fine. I drove it around to test it out and when coming to a stop and pressing the brake the car would drop idol and start to stall, again battery and oil light came on. I took it to get the codes read and they said misfires in 2 cylinders so I changed out the plugs with new ones, erased the codes, and still same issue. I now put it into neutral and give it some gas while stopping to keep her running but when I do that the check engine light sometimes blinks off and on for about 15-20 seconds. Anyone have any ideas? I do my routine maintenance on the car as needed and have been using synthetic oil for ten years in it. Never had any real problems. Changed the plugs, wires, cap & rotor within a reasonable amount of time, fuel filter is slightly over 30K miles, fresh oil within 2 weeks of this situation and like I said I changed the plugs again just to be sure of myself when the check engine light came on with a misfire.

You said the oil and battery light goes on, probibly becouse it stalled it just does this. You might try changing the wires and rotar two. But it's just as good to give a good mechanic 60 70 bucks to tell you whats really wrong before you waist alot of time and hair
