Check your vaccum lines and make sure they are connected. Also check out the lines coming from your brake booster.

how can i test the brake booster?

[Phlip]

Basic check of the booster is in the FSM...
I have had FAR too much to drink to THINK about opening the PDF now, but I pray that you have one

Hold the brake pedal down and turn the car on and if the pedal drops its good and if it doesn't its bad.

Brake Booster or the check valve in the brake booster line.

and if all of that doesnt work, check your battery terminals and all of your alternator wiring. if when you press your breaks your interior lights and radio dim/turn off its your wiring

[GSXRJJordan]

That's a good point Skyline, could also be wiring somewhere.

Most likely though, it's the brake booster or the vacuum line to the booster.

when i plug the line at the check valve, the problem goes away. guess i'll check the check valve and if it's fine... sure enough it's the booster. oh well, at least pretty soon i'll be out of things to replace.

i would agree with the check valve or a cracked vacuum hose to the brake booster. could be that the diaphragm inside the booster has deteriorated.
