White smoke is never good, usually it’s a blown headgasket. The stalling when stepping on the brake could be a bad brake master vacuum booster but the engine needs to be in working order first.

White exhaust smoke in an indication of a blown head gasket , do a compression test . Is there white goop under the oil fill cap ?
