Steve:

Make sure the brake fluid is full. If it is low, the light could come on as you described. As for the stalling, has the check engine light come on? Have you checked for engine vacuum leaks? Have you checked the operation of the idle air control valve (IAC)? The IAC is what maintains the engine idle speed.

My guess is that you either have a vacuum leak or the IAC isn't working properly.
