Every time I come to a stop or if my car gets below 1000 rpms it stalls out. The check engine light is on of course but when we checked on a small whatever you call it to see what it is a bunch of things came up. Also my parking break light stays on and my interior lights stay on.

Evap gross leak? Why is your idle set to bellow 1000 rpm alot of vehicles dont light to ber that low.

Was teh code for a EVAP system gross leak? Or EVAP system small leak. That will cause a issue because it usually means the purge valve is locked open.
