Check for missing vacuum canister, cracked vacuum canister, cracked vacuum hoses, soft vacuum hoses(they will collaspe, cutting off vacuum supply). Make sure engine is running at correct idle RPM's and properly tuned up. Make sure brake booster vacuum check valve is actually working(should allow air movement one way only-do a blow test from both openings). Robert Foley.

Why would a 94 blazer brakes hard as stone?
No power assist Severe vacuum leak Bad brake booster
What is the purpose of the vacuum booster check valve?
Hold Vacuum in the booster during low vacuum conditions. (Basically if you lose your vacuum booster while you drive the one way check valve allows you to have two full stops left of vacuum assist.) they are federally mandated.
What is the problem when there is no brake pressure when car is turned on?
The check valve for vacuum to your assist is leaking.Normal operation would keep vacuum in the booster,but when the engine is stopped vacuum drains out and you have no assist. Replace the valve.
Can you be able to brake with a vacuum leak in the brake booster?
If the vacuum leak is small, then yes the brake booster will still function well enough to assist the braking action. However, if the vacuum leak is very large, or if the brake booster rubber diaphragm is ruptured , then the brake booster will be inoperative and you will NOT have power assist to the brakes. It's wise to just replace the power brake booster with a new unit if there is an internal leak in it, to avoid an accident due to a loss of braking power.
What would cause the power booster on a 1995 S-10 Blazer to lose vacuum after one brake application?
Hole in the diaphragm of the booster.AnswerI will let you all know that I finally found a bad EGR valve causing a large vacuum leak, which caused the brakes to work one time only till the vacuum recovered.
What the most brake booster diaphragms get the power they use to provide an assist to pedal effort?
When the brakes are released and the engine is running, there is a vacuum on both sides of the booster's diaphragm the control valve directs air movement in the power booster resulting in a assist to pedal effort when needed.
When parked with the engine off the vehicle has no reverse power brake assist. explain 2 possibe reasons for this hint( hint the vacuum booster is not broken).?
The check valve in the vacuum supply hose is faulty.The seal between the check valve and the booster is faulty.
What does a vacuum power brake booster use to assist the driver in applying pressure to the master cylinder pistons?
If you mean specifically, what type of vacuum, the answer is manifold vacuum. Manifold vacuum is constant and doesn't, change with throttle valve opening, the way ported vacuum does.
Where does the brake booster hose connect?
From the booster, to a vacuum source on the engine.
If a 1986 350 El Camino with a performance cam has low vac to booster 8-inch vac has no brakes what do you do?
the only thing to do is replace your cam with a lower duration cam or you can try adding a brake booster resevior to store vacuum for the power booster. == With such low vacuum, you might want to add an electric vacuum booster pump to augment the vacuum booster resevoir.
Is there a fuse for the power brake booster on a 1994 Taurus?
No, the brake booster operates off of vacuum not electricity. If the booster isn't working then check the vacuum line going from the intake manifold to the booster. If the line is ok and not leaking then you need to replace the booster.
Why is my brake pedal too firm?
If you have power brakes it may be the vacuum booster. The booster may be going bad, the check valve in the vacuum line or a cracked vacuum line.
