There is a air flow sound coming from the bellow which goes to the master cylinder. The Sound happens when hitting the brakes only. The pedal goes down just over half way, and the sound continues until I release the pedal. It also has a low idle at stop lights, which seems like a vaccum leak. I have check the hose going to the brake booster and not issues there, I had tried to research if it is the power brake booster but get different stories, and do not know if it might just be the check valve.

I pulled it off and I can blow in one end coming from the manifold, and the other end it will allow me to blow into it sometimes as if it doesnt seat all the way every time.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
