Car stalls after check engine and esp lights turn on

I have an 02 audi a4 3.0, the problem is that my car would stall after i apply the brake,and the esp light will turn on. but if i give it gas in time it wont turn off and the idle would stay aroud 600 rpm. if i drive the car non stop or in the freeway with no traffic the esp light goes away and the car runs fine. what can be causing this?

Sometimes the issue is with the mechanical vacuum pump off to the side of the ABS/ESP module. It looks like a round silver canister. This issue is all over Google with many possibilities but the one I copied is most common.

I had the same issue with my '05 A4 1.8T.  Turns out it was the RPM sensor.  Audi tried to tell me it was teh fuel pump and the cam-shaft positioning sensor.  Paid for teh fuel pump replacement and it died 6 blocks from the dealership.  Then they replaced the RPM snesor, works great now... Except it's still an Audi.

SOURCE: what does the esp switch do on a audi a4 1.9 sport estate

The ESP switch turns the electronic stability control program on and off.

The ESP assists in your maintaining control of the vehicle when the vehicle loses or is about to lose adhesion with the road surface from the front, the rear or both ends. The program includes selective braking and brake release to individual wheels.

As you have this handling/control feature, you should not run the vehicle with the ESP turned off as long as it is functioning properly. If there is a fault in the system you will normally get a warning display on the dash.

SOURCE: ABS and ESP lights on

The ESP system means the Electronic Stability Program. If the ESP & ABS lights on the dashboard permanently the ESP & ABS system is faulty. You must access the ESP & ABS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) memory for pull out all DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes), using diagnostic equipment connected to the data link connector of the car (placed in dashboard, under a plastic cover above the ashtray). Then you will be full informed about bad pieces (e.g.: front right wheel abs sensor interrupted, ...). After bad pieces replacement you will be able to erase all faults memored by ESP & ABS ECU, in other words reset the ESP & ABS system and turn off the warning lamp on dashboard.

2006 audi A6 ESP light problem ESP light comes
A good place to start is the brake light switch.
There are 2 circuits in there: 1 for the brake lights and the other for the car computer (ESP, Engine brake etc...)
If the brake switch has an intermittent fault, the EPS light may come on and the car may run rough until you stop the vehicle and remove the key. It then re-set itself until the next time you are using the brakes and the fault appears again.

Have a 1995 Buick Regal. Car stalls when braking at a stop sign or braking into a left or right turn.RPMs drop to 500 then stalls without warning.Car starts right up with no problem and runs great.
Do you hear a sucking noise from under the hood when you apply the brakes? You could have a bad brake booster venting too much engine vacuum when applying the brakes causing the engine to die.
