Brake servo (power) unit problem
Posted this before with no response. C'mon guys and gals I would appreciate some help here.
91 164 power/servo unit not working. I hear a air/hissing sound when brakes are applied.
History, fuel pressure regulator went bad. So bad that fuel came out through the plenum tube/AFM. (My son cranked too much/too long).
Changed the FPR and car runs good. After about 1 hour use, the servo unit problem appears. Car still runs OK but idle speed decreases when brake is applied. Means vacuum in plenum is lowered?
I am asking myself if fuel could have gotten into the servo; if so, would that cause deterioration (a hole in) of the diaphragm? Would hole in the diaphragm cause lost of vacuum in the plenum even with on-way check valve?
Is this realistic? The servo has a one-way valve is to allow only fir flow out of the servo to create the vacuum.
Anyone with experience/ideas/help on this one. The servo is a royal pain to R/R.
Thanks,
Don
