Vacuum line to the brake booster. Also would explain the idle problem. Part of that line includes the vacuum check valve.

Got my van back today. Engine runs fine. But there is more checking to be done.

At the first stop sign I realized "HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM."

Hard pedal, but no brakes!  Drove home very carefully, up and down shifting all the way.

Question: whats up with hard pedal but no brakes. What do I CHECK?
