Yesterday after work I went down to my local Kragens and bought some vacuum line and replaced the lines connections that come off the check valve off the brake booster, since they were cracked. It did nothing to improve my brake problems. I did notice that the plastic tube that connects to the valve will come out if pulled with a little force. Should this be sealed with some kind of sealant? Now I notice that my door locks are not working too. I been doing some seaches on the list about vacuum problems am a little confused. What I thought was the vacuum pump I think really is the power steering pump. Does the vacuum pump not have a pulley and belt to turn it? Is it turned internally with a gear? I will try to clean the inline orifice this evening to see if that helps.
Thanks again.
