when you press on brake pedal the idle goes way down and you can hear air

I have a 1985 chevette when you press on brake pedal the idle goes way down and you can hear air. But the air leak is not coming from the brake pedal.

Make sure you get the correct thick wall hose if its that, that is faulty, because any normal hose will be sucked flat by the vacuum and you will have no brakes!! Should the hose be OK and the booster be the noise you can h...

These engines just always seem to have that code when you are presented with another trouble code, so go after the Oxygen...
