I had to dynamite the brakes to save myself, or my car, the other day and the engine died. It easily restarted, air temp was 40 degrees or so, then I hit the brakes again with the same response. I thought maybe its happening due to temp but it was 60 yesterday and the same thing happened. It had never happened before tha first incident and I'm perplexed as to why it is now happening. It otherwise runs great and I hanen't done anything recently that should cause this to happen.
Any ideas?
thanks, jule

How's your fuel level, and is it possible there's trash in the bottom of your tank?

I'd be sure to check the connectors on the fuel pump, the CD box, the distributor, the "coil" (it's not really a coil on a CD ignition, but I call it that anyway), and the multi pin plugs at the front and rear of the relay board in your engine compartment.
