Subject:Hissing Noise Pressing on Brake
From:Jonce Fancher
Date:Wed, 4 Oct 2006 13:15:37 -0400

Hi all
Got a Little Hissing noise when you step on the brake. You can sit there and idle and press on the brake NO Noise. Press a little harder and Noise starts. stays
constant during the harder pressing but will drop off when you let off the brake pedal. would it be the Booster? and with the leak would it change engine
performance and or running of the engine I.E. rich condition or rough Idle??

I have a spare booster as a spare everything else. anyone have the amount of time it would take to swap it out and a test to do to make sure it is the Booster?

Thanks All
Jonce
