Default Re: Engine Stalling when Braking

Could the wiring be mixed up where the ignition feed is somehow connected via the under-dash brake light switch?.
The hot/cold difference is perhaps it's own problem but it's possible someone's wired things up so the reverse lights are supplying ignition power while backing up?.
Run a hot-wire + battery to + coil and see if it still happens when you step on the brakes?.

Goodluck!.
