So apparently my car does not like to come to a complete stop while braking, it dies. Starting today, whenever I’m braking from any sort of speed, my car does this:
http://youtu.be/08ueD7vvWsQ
In the video it doesn’t actually die, but often it will. This does not happen when stopped and the brake’s are applied, or from very low speeds. While at idle, I pumped the brake’s several times and the RPM’s shoot up to about 1500, then go back to normal after the pumping has ceased. An additional thing I noticed today for the first time that when going through a spirited corner, coming out the car bogs for a couple seconds. Not sure if this is related or not.
Brake booster is the first thing that came to mind. I did a visual inspection and the main vacuum line on the brake booster seems alright. Any tips anyone? Needless to say I need to get to the bottom of this fast!
I cleaned the IACV, wasn’t bad as I cleaned it last year, made no difference.
However, after some more reasearch, someone mentioned their problem was fuel injector related. Low and behold,
Somehow my first cylinder injector appears to be leaking. Not sure why this would randomly occur or the best method of repair. Any thoughts?

I wonder if I’m having the same fucking issue…almost sounds exactly like what my car has been doing.
Also, let me know if fixing that injector actually solves the problem.
Thanks.
sounds like something with your booster maybe its cracked or has a small pinhole leak in the hose… loss of fuel can also be another problemm you just have to loook and seee
