Car just turned off

Brake boosters or IAC valve maybe. 
The problems that I experienced are related to yours in some ways. Stupid IAC valve was shot and everytime I slowed down to stop the car would idle way down and usually stall out. If I hit the brakes as you did the same thing happens.
Ever notice how when the car idles too low and by either turning the wheel or pumping the brakes you can bring it back up. It's a pressure gain.
I don't know if it'll help but read this thread I started way back. There's a TSB attached.
