A couple of things come to mind.
1. Why do you need to pump the brakes?
2. You may have a bad brake-booster, creating a major vacuum leak when you press the brake pedal causing the engine to stall.JMO

x2,it is the only thing I can think of that will cause what you are describing. Your brakes should be a little harder than before to push.

i dont really pump the brake, i just dint how to explain it..but when i come to a stop i slowly press the brake and it just shut off...a "mechanic" told me that it could be a electrical problem or the fuel system....but recently i took it across the border...i got new relays and a new gas filter..and it hasnt shut off on me or anything..so im guessin it was an electrical problem
