Default Help with engine cutting out

Maybe someone can help. Never had a problem with this truck. Tonight I came home from work - no problem. Went out 15min later started the truck and now every time I touch the brake to shift gear, or just try to shift into drive, the engine shuts off. Everything else is still on, lights bright radio fine windows and all else working properly. Starts up fine but continues to shut off if I not ouch the brake or try to shift. Please help. confused

Sounds like your car is stalling.

do you have a remote start by any chance? i had this problem with my jeep. the remote start turned the engine off if the brake was pressed without the key in the ignition in the on possition. after a couple of years of having it installed, even having the key in the ignition, the engine shut off once i hit the brakes.

My thought was security or a remote start. Go-part really helped out. What's up with that?

Bad brake booster with a vacuum leak when pushed?
