Why does a 2008 Chevy aveo RPM raise When you push on the brake and the car stop?
"Power brakes" uses engine vacuum to assist you as you press on the brake pedal. The diaphragm of the power brake module pulls the brake pedal harder as you press harder on the pedal. Since engine vacuum is being used, some atmospheric air is released into the intake of the engine as you press the pedal. That's all the throttle on your vehicle does to make it go faster. When more air is released into the intake of the engine (that's where the vacuum line is connected for the brakes) the engine will go faster, so when you press on the brake, it's doing the same thing. Usually people don't notice the slight RPM difference. If the change in engine RPM is extreme you MIGHT want to have the power brake module tested.
Why is the brake pedal solid on your 1996 punto diesel?
The most likely cause is the vacuum pump has failed. press the brake pedal a few times with the engine off keep your foot on the pedal and start the car your foot should drop slightly if it does not either the vacuum pump or the servo itself is faulty.

How do you know brake booster is bad?
Test Power Brake BoosterIf the pedal feels "hard" while the engine is running, the booster isn't operating correctly. If you suspect the booster is defective, do not attempt to disassemble or repair the power booster. Doing so is unsafe and will void your warranty. Test 1With the engine off, pump the brake pedal to remove any residual vacuum in the booster.Hold pressure on the pedal while you start the engine. When the engine starts, the pedal should drop about a 1/4", this indicates that the booster is working properly.Test 2Run the engine a couple of minutes.Turn the engine off and press the pedal several times slowly. The first pump should be fairly low. The second and third should become slightly firmer. This indicates an airtight booster.Test 3Start the engine and press the brake pedal, then stop the engine with the pedal still pressed. If the pedal does not drop after holding the pressure on the pedal for 30 seconds, the booster is airtight.Inspect the Check ValveDisconnect the vacuum hose where it connects to the intake manifold. Do not disconnect the vacuum line from the booster. Air should not flow when pressure is applied, but should flow when suction is applied. If air flows in both directions or there is no air flow, the valve needs to be replaced.Verify Enough VacuumCheck the operating vacuum pressure when the engine is at normal operating temperature. There should be a minimum of 18 in. of vacuum. Vacuum may be increased by properly tuning the engine, checking for vacuum leaks and blockages in vacuum lines.

Car does not move when in drive unless you press gas pedal?
Sounds like low idle which may be a vacuum leak, dirty TB (throttle body), or dirty IAC (idle air control) valve.
2003 dodge neon brakes are hard when engine off but soft with engine on?
because the hydraulic system pumps are running when the engine is on (power brakes), assisting you in applying the brakes. if your car did not have a brake assist pump, the pedal would always be difficult to press. Actually, there is no "hydraulic system pump", but a vacuum assist device. It is that large, round, metal thing that the master brake cylinder is attached to. Obviously, it operates on the engine's vacuum while the engine is running. With the engine off, there is no vacuum, and therefore no assist. There is a big, rubber diaphragm inside it, which is operated on by the engine vacuum. Pushing down on the brake pedal opens up the vacuum. When you let up on the brake pedal, springs return it to the original position. Occasionally they develope small leaks in the diaphragm, and have to be replaced. I have done this once as a "shade-tree" mechanic, who was trained in the U.S. Air Force. It is not an easy job.
Why Engine stops running while breaking?
If the engine is cutting out when you press the brake pedal This is indicating a servo or vacuum leak to the servo which will weaken the air/fuel mixture to the extent that the car will not run I hope this post is of use to you best wishes
