Default Stalls when applying brakes

Just had the car redone, engine built, new tranny etc. Every once and a while, the care will stall more so when I apply the brakes, the idle dips and every once and while, its like it just doesnt have enough power to bounce back up...
Any suggestions?

Tried new coils as well, and adjusted idle

Clean your Idle Air Controller (IAC). If that doesnt work then check for some vacuum leaks and make sure all hoses are securely attached.

Not to sound ignorant to the fact, but where in the hell would that be located, I didnt do the engine or the tranny so a lot of this is new to me. any help is greatly appreciated, I can check vaccum lines, noo prob, but the IAC, educate me if you could.

FOUND IT, not a huge deal to do it, but before I do, the gasket, is it reusable? I have always been instructed to replace not reuse?
Any recommendations?

The IAC gasket? yea it's re usable as long as it's in good condition.. I would go buy one though. I think it's a buck 50, and it could even be why your car may be stalling if its damaged bad enough.

Mustangs use Hydra-boost brakes, and is not related to vacuum.. Just so you know..
