Okay so I had this problem in my spyder and now on my gst. (Both automatic ) and when I'm switching gears and have my foot on the break the car begins to shake intensely and then cuts off. It happened in my spyder but went away and was no where near as intense as the gst. Any ideas?
 
So it stalls, then what? Starts back up? How's it running at idle?i would be looking at the booster or vacuum lines. See if booster is working can pump it up then start engine the pedal should go down further and have assist.
 
Could also get some carb cleaner and spry it around the lines. if there is any fluctuation in idle rpm you have some bad lines and need to be replaced
 
first thing i would do if i where you is disconnect and properly reconnect ALL vacuum hoses. when air escapes your car will act like that. if that doesnt work make sure your fuel pump is working by turning the key to ACC and listen to see if your pump makes a low tone. i gotta go im already late but i will be back to check up on you. keep me updated
 
ive been really busy lately and since this is only my project car i havent had much time to give it a go, but i intend to this weekend. i will keep yall posted
