CAR DIED AGAIN, this time, hard braking??

Sorry, I know I just posted this on my old thread, but realised it's a different problem now.

Man, it seems like one thing or another. I'm so tempted to say "SEE YA" But, this car has been in the fam for like 9 years now, Really don't want to.
But, driving to work, I had to slow down quick to make my turn into work. Long story, lol but, midway through the turn the engine died. My heart sunk as once again, my car is dying on me. I pull over, let it rest for a minute.. Turn the key, pump the gas and she fires right up. Stumbles a bit, but runs, none the less. I drive through the gate, around the corner and into a spot. Midturn/partial brake, dies again, no clue. Brakes kill my car?? After work, I get to my car, I took off all the air components, fired up with some assistance (pumping gas).
Runs fine, no problem revving or anything, put the air components back on, still running fine, let it sit, 3-4 minutes.. still good, then go to leave, back up, fine, even with light brake pressure.. start driving, seems fine, so I said hmmm, I wonder if it really IS the brakes, hit them hard, stumbles, dies. Can't get it to start back up again.
My ONLY thoughts are vacuum leaks/bad ecm, I only think ECM because I know when you brake hard, the ECM knows it and cuts fuel to a lower level. But, would it ever cut so much that it stalls out?? Car has no problem running on it's own until you want to stop it haha.

Only time my car does that is if I'm at 1/8 tank or less, all the fuel goes to the front of the tank, loses fuel pressure, dies. Always starts back up immediately though

Or, haha this could be the problem, since it runs fine now.. Over near the battery, there's that 10A fuse just plugged into the end of a wire, I think it goes to the fuel pump if im not mistaken. It was slightly out of the socket it goes into. Plugged it fully in, engine ran fine, pulled it out, engine died instantly. Back in, no more problems. I don't think it was a reflection of the brakes so much as it was of being shifted around during acceleration.. and came back on only because it came back into contact from time to time.
Sorry for a worthless post mediators, I'm still learning my car really. I jumped to the forums and couldn't seem to find any answers no matter how many keywords I tried, nothing added up.
