Oh this is an odd one for sure. Will it die if you press the brake parked?

The converter may be sticking on you. Will it die if you cruise to like 10 miles an hour and then stop

Transmission fluid level can affect idle, what if the converter was draining back raising the level and hasn't had time to circulate back to the proper level? This has to be something simple if it only happens under those specific conditions.

I don't know why the trans fluid level affects idle. Maybe Keith has an answer. But it has been reported more than a few times. Pressing the brakes activates a switch that is actually three switches, one switch sends 12vdc to the third brake light, another a speed control and brake sense to PCM. This is actually more involved then what I have listed as the Controller Anti-Lock Brakes also receives brake sense. None of what I see is an input to control idle. Are you turning the steering wheel as you press the brakes? The steering has a pressure switch that does raise the idle under high pressure steering load. If there is a load and it isn't compensated for it could cause the engine to stall.
