what causes the check engine light to come on and the engine to stall only at normal operating temperature. Vehicle has new plugs(gapped properly), wires, distributorcap and rotor, fuel pump and filter, coil and air filter. Vehicle runs fine until it gets hot then the check engine light comes on or idles erratic then shuts off or it will shut off when the brakes are depressed. Vehicle will start up immediately after shutting off. No remedy disconnecting the brake booster vacumn line either. Suggestions?

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine manangement system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis, finding out what's going on.
