this might be a newbie question but. i was messing around in my car doing donuts and stuff. then all of a sudden my brakes stop working and my car started to have idleing problems. my brakes feel very very stiff but it doesnt brake at all. does anyone know what happen. i left my car off for around 6 hours and its still in the same status.

did you try checking around the master cyl for anything unusual?

You may have broken an engine mount & the brake booster hose could have ripped.
That will f*** up you idle something fierce & will make the brake peddle very hard.

i dont know. when im at like around 1-2000 rpm the car shakes and when i turn on and off the car the car shakes. some times the car revs really high when i turn on the car it goes to 2000rpm. and when i leave it with the engine on. the idle drops to 900 rpm and it sounds like its struggling to stay alive. my normal idle use to be 1000rpm so 900 is different by the way. lol

Wierd, my car idles at 700rpms, but shoots up when it starts up. Seems pretty normal to me. It only idles at 1k when I have the A/C on or when the car is cold and I start it up.

Check the vacuum hose that goes from the intake mani to he brake booster. You have a vacuum leak, which is why it is idling bad, and my guess is that its a line going to your power brakes, and causing you to not have power brakes.

i checked my lines today... and i found out that i did have a vacuum leak.......my line connecting to the brake booster slipped off... i reconnected it and it fixed everything... thanks guys for helping me out

Your very welcome.

So it just came off? Something is wrong there. That should never "just happen".
