99 beetle stalls when pressing on brake pedal
 
Installed new pads and rotors today. After I was done and went for a test drive the engine stalls ever time I press on the brake pedal. I was unable to bleed the left rear because the valve had been rounded off from whoever last bleed the brakes! Because of this I had very little brake pressure, I believe?

What could be going on here?

just get vise grips and remove that valve and get another one. As far as stalling, have you tried double-footing when you are slowing down or stopping? Does it die as soon as you hit the brakes? Could be coincidental, but check your MAF

Thanks for the reply I actually just came in and found the problem. The problem was that there was to much air in the lines and very little brake fluid. I'm guess the brake booster was working double time, which is what was causing the engine to stall. Basicly a pressure problem.

The fix was to remove the bad valve and gave it a good bleeding.

Thanks again!
