What causes a car to die when brake applied?
If your pedal travels too far when applied, or feels spongy, it could be the result of the internal push rod being adjusted IN to far. This could also be caused by air in the hydraulic system, so the entire hydraulic system should be checked.
What to do when car stalls when braking suddenly?
Check the battery cables. Remove clean and replace both ends of any such wire. tried slamming on brakes when idle in park – did not affect the engine in any way. Car continued running as usual. Then I think you have 2 main possibilities. (That “test” takes a brake booster leak out). One is the TCC as mentioned.
What happens when you step on the brake pedal?
There is a valve in the diaphragm that remains open while your foot is off the brake pedal so that vacuum is allowed to fill both chambers. When you step on the brake pedal, the valve in the diaphragm closes, separating the two chambers and another valve opens to allow air in the chamber on the brake pedal side.
What happens if the engine stalls while driving?
If the engine stalls or shuts off while you are driving, you will have a small reserve of power assist for two or three pedal applications but, after that, the brakes will be extremely hard to apply and you must put as much pressure as you can to bring the vehicle to a stop.

Why does my brake pedal stall when I apply the brakes?
If your brake pedal is stiff and it stalls when you apply the brakes, it sounds like the diaphram in you brake booster may be ruptured. Do what Steve said and pull the vacuum line to the booster and cap it off and see if it still stalls. If it doesn’t stall, then it’s time for a new booster. Loading…
