    Performing an in depth analysis on his post I believe the problem to be: His car stalls when braking, sometimes. Further analysis reveals that there is a black hose hanging off the gear box, which the OP has mentioned to aid those more knowledgeable in diagnosing the problem.

    so it stalls?
    i think the "little black hose" your reffering to is actually the hand brake cabil haning down.
    ok give me the run down of what was going on when it happend. besides the fact you were braking

    I was wondering if perhaps his batt/connections or something may be loose and moving around under heavy braking. Or a vacumm leak or something? Maybe we should have a thread dedicated to trying to read/decipher his post?
