Rolla__Boy Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 It sounds like a vacuum issue. When the brakes are applied they are taking too much vacuum from the manifold and causing the engine to stall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_rolla Posted June 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 how do i fix it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Check your line from your brake booster. If it is leaking or loosing vacuum then it will cut out when you apply the brakes. I'll post more later as I hyave to go out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiP Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 (edited) ;) Had the same problem. Was my brake booster. Something i did while i was saving up to pay for the repair was i pulled my choke out abit when I needed to slow down and it wouldn't stall. Jon.

JiP Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 (edited) ;) It was a while back but I think I was quoted $400 - $500 for a new one and $200 - $300 for a reconn'd one. Edited July 16, 2006 by JiP_01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 firstly check the ho9se between the manifold and the booster....it could be a bit loose and will just need a tighten. and also check for any splits in the hose. next, check the 1 way valve in that line. take it out and blow and suck on it to make sure its doing its job properly. if both of those things don'e fix it, then get a new booster. :D as far as the carby goes, the 626 nikkis will go straight onto a standard corolla manifold. but depending on the model you may need to grind/file down one of the bolt holes on the manifold. (think its one of the ones that the air cleaner bolts on with.) one of my mates has a ke55 with the 2lt jetted 626 nikki, runs fine!! :dance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
