What are your symptoms?? T rogerdodger New User Jan 15, 2007, 5:52 PM Post #3 of 4 (2526 views) Re: 1993 Dodge Caravan Sign In all of a sudden my brake pedal is hard. hard to push, doesn't need brake fluid, checked master cylinder, that's o.k. The weirdest thing happened yesterday. I went to town and knew my van's brakes were messed up so I used extreme caution. The van stalled and when I started it back up the brakes were normal. Normal the next 10 miles or so. I even stopped and shut off the van , still normal then I stop for gas and boom, hard again. The ABS isn't hooked up and everyone we've talked to says that the ABS and manual brake are 2 seperate things. We're stumped!!!!!

Some cars use PS to a thing called hydro-boost but most use a big vacuum can like a huge donut between master cyl and firewall. If it failed you would have a hard brake pedal and stalling would be likely as engine couldn't feed it with more vacuum fast enough. There should be a cheap little regulator where vacuum goes into it but the symptoms are not really consistant with that. The booster itself has a large diaphram in it and if it leaks causes hell to pay and only replacement with new or good used would fix that, 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
