Yes they would still work, but it would be much harder to stop the vehicle because you don't have the booster powering the master cylinder, so you would have to push much harder on the brake pedal to stop.

Engine stalling when applying brakes is usually indicative of a leaky brake booster. The brake booster uses and stores engine vacuum while driving to assist your braking effort (power brakes). When the booster's air diaphragm is leaking air, applying brakes causes a substantial vacuum leak in the intake manifold, causing the engine to stall.

Why does the oil light come on when your car stalls?

The light comes on when the car stalls because the engine is not running and the pump therefore is not pumping. The pressure will always be 0 when the engine stalls and the light is directly related to pressure. This is normal, you have no problem, other than the engine stalling.


Your brakes does not want to work if you drive short distances with your 1996 sebring but after long distances it works good again what could it be?

If engine vacuum is low the brakes will be difficult to push. Sometimes, if the engine isn't running well when it's cold, the vacuum level will be low and the brakes won't work well. Have someone check that out for you.
