  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

When I apply my brakes at a stoplight my RPMs drop by about 80. I have tried stopping at a light slowly using the e-brake and I do not get the drop. Does this indicate that I am having a failure on my brake booster or just a general vacuum leak somewhere. I checked the brake booster check valve and it is operating as it should. I also do not have any vacuum sounds inside the cabin when I press the brakes. Could some other component of the brake system be causing this RPM drop? The RPM drop causes a pretty good shutter at stop lights when the brake is applied. I'm currently at 167,000 mi on my 2012 3.8

I had this problem and what i found was the my break booster line was clogged due to my brake booster being worn out and leaking. I replaced the brake booster, brake booster line, and the master cylinder and that fixed it.
