1990 300te - 145,000 miles 124 body style

I have the exact same problem. Car dies upon firm braking often when coming down a hill. It has done it on me 3 times in the exact same part of town. This just started about 3 months ago. Car is in pristine shape with all the typical tune-up items done with the past 12 months (including the OVP relay).

When the car dies it feels like an electrical problem because it cuts out all at once and all the dash lights come on. There is no sputtering or hesitation as if there was a fuel problem.
