I have NEVER heard of this problem.

When you disconnected the vacuum line to brake booster...you did pulg the port on the intake manifold...right?

Never heard of this one either. Weird..seems like it would have to be vacuum related or electrical...some kind of short between the brake switch and something?

Yeah, that is just truly bizarre. Do you have 4 wheel anti-lock brakes by any chance? Will the engine start with your foot on the brake?

i think i'd unplug all things electrical associated with the brake and see if it changes anything. brake light switch at the pedal or maybe the fuse. abs fuse.

ok yes it has 4 wheel abs and I removed the wire from the switch it didn't stall. Now I have to trace the wires I'm thinking and I hate electrical systems.

Disable the ABS, I suspect your problem lies there.
