brake booster question
A while back my brakes started getting harder and harder to work.
When I pushed the pedal, it sounded like an air leaking/purgeing noise.
The master cylinder had always had a small leaking issue due to worn rubber grommets, so i figured it just hit its point, so i replaced it.
In the process, i broke the brake booster check valve. bought a replacement and put it in. bled the brakes all the way around.
The brakes still sucked. Then yesterday after messing around with the check valve which seemed a little loose, the car is just *******.
It putters from rest, idling funny, and has a real shaky time accelerating...
I'm thinking the brake booster is shot. If it was, would this throw off the vacuums and cause my car to do this?
