Default Please Help! Brake Pedal wayyy to stiff

I was cleaning up the engine bay so i removed only a select few hoses and disconected only a few plugs. I really dont think i touched the brake componants at all accept for that one hose next to the brake cylinder that connects to the intake manifold. (d16z6)

My brakes were perfectly fine prior to this so its more than likely somthing i did. The brake pedal will barely move even when i turn the car on and can barley stop.

I checked the vacuum line (even though i really didnt touch it.) Its a hard line and its still connected. I am having no idle issues my idle is at 750-800 like it usually is. There is plenty of fluid in the resovoir.

I cant think of anything else..


What could make my brakes not be able to press down?

yeah its ether the booster but more than likly not cause it was working fine, but i think its the hose that conects to the intake manifold from the break booser, there is a valve on that hose try and turn that whole hose around if no luck it might be the hose, valve, or booster

like Tommy said, you might flip the "one way check valve" accidentally, the valve is located by the booster.
