Default Brakes

When leaving the house in the morning the brakes are extremely hard. After about 1/2 miles of driving they get better. Is this a vacuum problem or what?? :leaving:

Hard brake pedals suggests reduced of vacuum. Start checking hoses.

If you have the factory service manual, suspect a trouble shooting chart.

Hope you get your car fixed. Darn cars.

The only place I can think of for a leak would be in the booster or vacuum line to the intake.
