Can the brake booster cause your brake pedal to go to the floor?

No, a busted brake booster will not cause the brake pedal to go to the floor. It will however cause the brake pedal to be extremely hard to push. A defective master cylinder will cause what you describe. Replace the master cylinder and bleed the brakes. It can because it happened to me. The booster lost vaccum and the pedal went to the floor. Sorry, you are wrong. The only reason the pedal went to the floor was because the master cylinder failed. The brake booster only boosts the pressure on the master cylinder and allows you to not have to push so hard on the brake pedal. Cars of yesteryear did not even have a brake booster and they stopped just fine albeit you had to push the pedal allot harder than with power brakes. A failing brake booster will not cause your pedal to go to the floor although it might cause it to go lower than normal before the brakes apply. As long as the master cylinder is good you will still have brakes, but you will have to really push hard and might even have to pump them up in order for them to stop the car.


Why would a Camry rattle when you release the pedal at start?

If it's coming from the rear, I would check either your catalytic converter or your muffler. Either could have pieces loose in them that would cause a rattling sound when you either push or release the throttle.


How do you know if your clutch is no good?

A major indicator would be when you push the clutch in, you can't shift your transmission. Another one would be when you push the clutch pedal, it just goes straight to the floor with no resistance, or it doesn't push in at all.


What could cause the brake pedal on a Ford F-150 to fall to the floor?

A COMMON CAUSE FOR A DROPING BRAKE PEDAL WOULD BE A LEAKING MASTER CYLINDER.(INTERNAL LEAK). THERE ARE OTHER REASONS BUT THAT IS A COMMON ONE. YOU ALSO HAVE AIR IN THE SYSTEM, NO FLUID, OR A LEAK SOMEWHERE IN THE SYSTEM(MAJOR LEAK). IF THE PEDAL JUST FELL TO THE FLOOR TRY LOOKING UNDER THE DASH AND MAKE SURE THAT THE PEDAL DIDN'T COME LOOSE FROM THE PUSH ROD AND NOW IS JUST "HANGING".
