Engine Stalling when Braking

[Rob_M]

Got it!
After going through everything I could think of, I thought about switching out the battery from my 'Honda'. When I started playing with the battery in the Biscayne the engine died. Sure enough, when I tilted the battery forward the engine died, when I tilted it backwards nothing. That was it. The only thing I could figure was there was a bad cell that would short out when it was tilted in one direction only. Strange.

Thanks to all for their comments and support. If nothing else, I am much wiser and know my car a little better. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/tired.gif[/img]

I had the same problem with my 68 Camaro years ago. It would die when I hit my brakes hard. Tried everything but not the battery like you did. I gave up after awhile and just didn't hit the brakes hard anymore [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img] .
