Brake causing the car to stall. HELP!
« on: 30 March 2006, 23:47 »
Having a problem with my engine stalling when I put my foot on the brake. That just seems wierd to me. It happens when the car is in nutral. As soon as I put my foot on the brake the revs drop then the engine stalls. Has anyone else had this problem. Can anyone help?  :sad: :sad:

I was going to suggest servo too - check all the vacume lines too it before you go buying a new one though  :smug:
