Hi:
Do you mean the brake pedal is hard to push? If so, theck the vacuum hose going to the booster. It may have a leak or the booster itself may be the problem. You'll need to have a vacuum test done on it to see if it holds vacuum.

[quote:562be5cd7e="Jacobandnickolas"]Hi: yes, nothing behinde,according to the book of the van i did read a part that said before you turn on the engine you press the the pedal three or four time on the press you leave it press then you turn on the engine, if the pedal go down is good but is not happening like the book said, and i check the hose coming from the power booster to motor and the suction in vaccum is it good. thanks
