    Default Brake Issues.... Brake Booster?

    My brake pedal is really hard and hardly brakes. (Hard like when the car is turned off)

    I bled my brakes twice and still the same. Could it be the brake booster? I know its not the Brake Master Cylinder because it holds pressure.

    Help=Reps, Thanks IA

    Thanks people. It could be that because I have some extra vaccum lines for blow-off valve and boost stuff. I figured it would be that but I'm too lazy to check. Reps

    I know what im doing when it comes to working on my car and it's not a vacuum leak at all because the car doesn't idle high or weird.

    I found out it was the plastic valve that's on the 3/4 vacuum line from the brake boosted to the intake manifold..
