Sounds like the power brake booster is bad, that is what the master cylinder is bolted too. There is a rubber hose that has a plastic valve in it were it snaps into the booster, Pull that rubber hose out of the booster and off of the engine, Now the end that you took off the engine. You should be able to suck through the line, but not be able to blow through it. If you can then replace the valve, It is a one way valve.
If that is all right then hook hose back up to the engine and start engine, You should hear a major vacuum leak at the valve end, put you finger over the valve and it should stop making noise and engine should smooth out. If it don't the rubber hose must be leaking or the tube on the engine were the hose hooks to is stoped up.

What does a VW Jetta dashboard warning light sun with an exclamation mark inside of it mean?
Brake FluidThat happened to me and it would beep and flash for a little then go away...but after a couple days, it stayed on and turns out it was the brake fluid. It got really hard to stop, I could push the brake pedal all the way down and it barely stopped the car. I would check brake fluid next time just in case. ...OR it could mean you left your E-brake on...maybe it's not down all the way...check that too.
What does the red circle with an exclamation point mean on the 2000 Ford Windstar van?
Is that the one directly under the word "Brake"? Yes... it is the brake warning lamp, calling attention to a detected problem with the brakes. First thing to check is the brake fluid levels. Second is that the emergency brake pedal is fully released. Third - could be excessive brake pedal travel - having to push it too far. This might be the brakes are in need of repair / replace. Anything else, have the brake system inspected. See "Related Questions" below for more
