What should be done when the engine of your car suddenly stopped when brake was applied?

On older Fords, the vacuum advance in the distributor has an insulated wire that breaks over time, but still maintains some continuity, until the wire is flexed during braking, as when you come off the freeway, and the engine stalls. The car restarts and is set to go until you brake again. A real tough fix to find as the wire shows continuity when stopped (and so allows the car to restart). Good luck. Hope is helped.

What are the symptoms of a bad timing belt on a 2002 KIA Sportage?
Engine stopped suddenly without warning and will not start. This is an interference engine and if the belt broke you will have internal engine damage. Belt should have been replaced at 105,000 miles. If you have less than 105,000 miles it more than likely is not a broken belt. Remove the distributor cap and tun the engine over. If the rotor does not turn the belt may be broken.

Had engine oil changed and drove a mile and engine stoped found no oil in engine is this a sign of permanent damage?
Of course there will be permanent damage its just a matter of how much. If the engine stopped it may be that the engine has seized. If that's the case you are going to have to get a new/rebuilt engine and if you went somewhere to have your oil changed and they did this you should go and have them pay for it.
If your brakes suddenly give out what should you do?
If you are moving and need to stop suddenly then turn off the engine and shift down through the gears and use the handbrake. It worked for me. If you do not have to stop suddenly take your foot off the accelerator and slowly decrease speed and go down through the gear box, use the handbrake slowly when your speed had slowed down enough.
1967 Cadillac engine wont turn off?
If the engine continues to run after you have turned the key off you have what was called "Dieseling". Checking the timing and set the idle to factory specs should cure it. Shutting the engine off while stopped in drive will stop the engine for now until you get it looked at.
