i figured it out. what it was is the guy before be tried to put in some after market lights in the tail lights so he figures he should rewire it. and in doing so he grounded the tail lights to the fuel pump. so everytime you hit the brakes or put it in reverse it would pull power from the fuel pump and stall.

yea for sure it was a pain. i didnt even think of it me and a couple of buddys were sittin around having a beer thinking about it and out of the blue one of my buddys said look for a bad ground. and i noticed the tail lights were very dim. so i popped the trunk and saw some ghetto rigged wiring and got out the test light and grounded it and the problem was solved. now the car runs like a champ.
