Default Truck died when i shift

Last night i was leaving my house and backed out of my driveway. After i was in the street i shifted from reverse to drive and then it died. After that i shifted back to park (with the truck not running) then it started up again. Then i shifted to drive and it went fine. Any ideas?

Dirty throttle body? Low fuel pressure? Vacuum leak? Bad crank sensor? Could be any of a number of things.

Is it possible that this happened due to depressing the brake? As this is an indicator of a shot power brake booster.
