When i hit the brakes my car sometimes tends to stall. The rpm's goes down a little everytime i brake because i've got ALB, but once in a while it stalls. What could be wrong? The ALB lamp is not on, and i'm not even sure it's the ALB that's the problem here... Btw. the ALB works fine too.

The reason for your engine behavior under braking may not be in the ALB system, but rather in the vacuum assist booster. Check to make sure the booster isn't leaking (Shop Manual Procedure) and I think there is a way to test the one-way valve going to the booster too. It could be that you are just losing manifold vacuum to a leaking booster.

Yea, maybe your right. I didn't even think of that.
