Default Pulsing brake pedal. (?)

When the car is sitting in drive at idle I can feel the brake pedal moving slightly up and down maybe a 1/4 inch or so. I assume it's some vacuum problem. There are absolutly no fluid leaks in the brake system.
Any ideas on what the problem is? or where/what to check out?

Thanks.

Power brakes? Possibly the booster or the vacuum lines that connect to it.

take the big line that goes to your brake booster and pull it off, suck on the plastic nipple. if should hold a vaccum if it doesn't thats your problem. Tahts a very easy fast check to do, also inspect vaccuum line itself. Ps. don't mention to any of your friends that you wer sucking on your corvettes nipples, my friends still haven't let that one go :lol:
