Exclamation 1994 Caprice Classic LS 4.3l Stalls when Driving!

I got this car....well..
At first it would die when idling for about 4-5 minutes....So
we changed the fuel filter, now it idles with no problems.
But for some reason (No particular amount of time) the car would shimmer
and then like no power (Even when I hit the gas, Nothing) then the dash
lights would come on (Flashing)... then the car would choke and stall out
(Die). But after letting it sit for 1-2 minutes it would start up and drive just
fine again. UNTIL it happens again at odd-ball times.

I have checked / replaced:
Spark Plugs
Wires
Fuel Filter
Thermostat
Coolant temp sensor (one on the Water Pump)

I'm buying a book for this car tomorrow (9-13-2012) so I have a more detail
idea on this car.

but I'm Stumped since the car Idles fine, and starts with no problems, until
the incident happens again.

Any Help would be greatly helpful.

I will check the egr tomorrow, and post back what I find, but have to take the car for a ride to see if it happens again after replacing if needed the egr.

Well I did everything I can to find the problem... no avail.
I did notice something that I forgot to state before...

I Noticed that when I would push on the brakes the "voltage gauge"... would
drop, and the car would bog down like similar to cutting out, then the engine
would pick backup or I would have to let off the brake and repress it to fix
the Issue (Like hesitation in the engine).

Anyways I hope with will help in figuring out the whole problem....any info
would help.

Thanks: Jake
