Car shuts down when I break.. sometimes
I have no idea why my car does this...
but when I break and rpm goes low, it goes lower.. lower.. light dims and shuts down.. happened on high ways and roads and on and on... it's getting worse... What's happening~?~?~?~?~?~?

Girlfriend, you got something going on with your throttle body.
It could be the IACV sticking or just a dirty throttle body. If you clean both of them and it still does it, start looking at the MAF.

whelp, if your alternator isn't charging your battery enough, then when you brake, the excess electricity going to the brake lights and power braking could push your car to die. Check your battery reading before anything else, to rule this out.

Have you done Ben's ECU mod, aka cutting the tranny speed sensor wire on your GXE? If so, this could be the culprit, I noticed that when I have my speed sensor disconnected (it's on a switch) my car does the same thing.
I think it's a vacuum thing, and when you apply the brakes there isn't enough manifold vacuum to work the brakes and keep the car running sometimes, it's a very direct correlation, it happens every time I flip my governor switch.
