Hard to stop!!!

[supraman508]

Ok here's another prob,Before i seperate the Master Cylinder from the Brake Booster i was thinking that if i just maybe replace the Gasket would that help me be able to stop without keep pumping the brake pedal for presure to come to a full stop?Also this prob seems to effect the idling,Why:aigo::aigo::aigo:

Probably get more responce in the general section, sounds like either air in the system or the master.

well, if the gasket separated/got a leak in the vacuum line, the pedal will be more like an old car without powered brakes...stiff!

Ok, my master cylinder went bad and started leaking into the booster.(There is a seal inside your master cylinder) Then it started to fill up the booster.....THEN ENGINE WAS LIKE "NUM NUM NUM" :beer: on some brake fluid. thought i blew a head gasket, lotz of white smoke...that smelled like brake fluid lolz. and it idled funny and rough...probably because engines weren't designed to run off brake fluid. Except the 7m...it will take anything from dirt to water....LOL.

You have two problems:
1. your booster may be leaking enough to affect your idle
2. your brake system needs help, as in air in the system or your master cylinder has gone bad

The gaskets on either side of the booster don't do anything for the brakes. The one between the master cylinder and booster is thinner than a piece of paper and pretty much does nothing. The one between the booster and firewall is to keep rain water out of the passenger compartment.

You can easily unplug vacuum from the booster and plug the hose (on the engine side). If your idle smooths out, it's the booster. You can get booster action even if it's leaking a bunch.
