brake gas throttle cutout thing 88 5000 T Q

Someone with the answer please clue us both in:
I think:  That what you describe is a symptom of an automatic transmission
safety related feature.
But I think your car is not an automatic.  Is it original and not modified?
Somebody know the answer?

Subject: '88 5kcstq throttle/brake cutout thing

When I apply the brake and throttle at the same time on my '88 5kcstq, the
engine cuts out
as if there is some safeguard there, perhaps a response to the unintended
acceleration
thing.

Is that a "feature" of my car, or is something wrong with it?

Thanks,

Ken
