So I've had my firebird for about 10 months now and since than I've done the following
Repaired transmission
New radiator
O2 censor
Thermostat
Brakes(front and rear)
Tires(currently 70% tread)
A/C charge and freon
Fuel pump
Crankshaft censor
Windshield
And kept up with oil changes

I'm giving all of my recents specs to the car because I'm looking for the best answer possible and trying to provide as much information
I'm having a problem with the car stalling out and shutting off when I'm apply the breaks to hard
For example slowing down coming to a red light with less than 100 yards
But it will do this at other random times the other day I was cursing through a parking lot and was moving over a speed bump and again just shut off out of no where
I notice when it's going to happen because my A/C will slowly turn off and I lose my power steering.
When this problem started I immediately brought it to the mechanic and had the fuel pump done.
Got my car back and the problem continued
I want home that night and did some research and read that it could me the crankshaft censor
Had the censor replaced the next day and when I got it back I still have the same problem.
And since I've brought the car to the shop my speedometer went out and now every time I turn my car on my "infel rest" dash light blinks
I'm wondering what is it that the problem could be? I'm also having problem starting the car back up when it does stall out
It turns over but hardly and it clicks
Thank for your support
 
Could be a swinging ground short. I had one on my car. When you would accelerate or brake the p/s would cut out,all the dash lights wound blink or dim and sometimes the car would die out. One of the wires insulation burned off from touching the engine block and exposed the bare wire. When the wire was straight up and down it was fine. When you would accelerate or brake the bare wire which was positive would touch a negative surface such as the block or firewall causing the system to short out. Start checking wires behind the block.
 
Thanks for the feedback I'll get right on it and reply with results
