It was running fine until all of a sudden it started dying every time I use the brakes and slow down, but it still idles and accelerates like normal. I tried adjusting the throttle control, checking the fuel pump, and checking all the fuses, but it still dies. nickwarner Veteran / Moderator Aug 3, 2011, 11:08 AM Post #2 of 4 (1807 views) Re: 1988 amc eagle keeps dying when slowong down Sign In check for a vacuum leak around your power brake booster. See if it will do it when holding still and pressing the brake down. bigdd2011 New User Aug 3, 2011, 2:40 PM Post #3 of 4 (1800 views) Re: 1988 amc eagle keeps dying when slowong down Sign In I tried the brakes while holding still and the car stayed running fine, but when I put it in gear and just rolled a few inches forward and hit the brake it died.

Plug it off in safe area as you won't have power assist and if it won't die that's the area to dig into for a leak. You should feel power assist after engine is shut off at least one good time and if not booster is probably leaking and consuming too much vacuum, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
