Occasionally acts like it wants to stall while braking when it's almost at a complete stop. This happens occasionally, not every time. RPMs drops for a second or two starts to sputter then it goes back to normal. No OBD codes. It only happens while braking.

Hi,

After this happens, does the engine idle smoothly? I ask because my first thought is an engine vacuum leak. Have you checked for any?

If not, start with this. Here is a link that explains how to find and repair one:

Let me know what you find. Also, let me know if when this happens the engine keeps pulling the vehicle as if it isn't releasing from the transmission.

Take care.
