Do you have a vacuum leak?

Do you hear a leak when you step on the brakes?

I would guess the vacuum line to the manifold is either lose or has a hole in it,possibly the checkvalve at the connectionon the brakebooster.

The other posibility is there is a problem with the diaphragm in the brake booster.


There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Yes, YEs there is definitly a hissing sound when I step on the brakes, also, it appears as though the lights go dim and bright when the brakes are pressed and the rpm seems affected and goes up a couple of notches, I will check the hose and the valve thingy tomorrow, thanks, kool 65 frown frown frown
