that's really weird, whens the last time you had a new battery? it might be going out on you and not giving enough volts anymore to power those things and start it up. Otherwise it could be your alternator (if it's not disconnected like some modders do). Once started your alternator should power everything with ease, and help power the battery. It's not a standard tranny either, so I don't know why starting with the brakes would stall it unless you had a standard and it needed a slight go on the gas. Some vehicles require you to use your brake to shift or start the vehicle. Spark plugs and wires good? they could be going bad too. were you running on empty at the time? you could have had no fuel going into the engine at the time until you filled up and reved it.
