What You Should Do
Inspect the brake booster vacuum hose for cracks, looseness, or collapse.
Check the check valve for proper operation (should hold vacuum one way).
Test the booster by pumping the brake pedal with engine off, then start engine; pedal should drop slightly.
If no drop, booster or vacuum supply is faulty.
Replace booster or hose as needed.
