maybe your battery is low.. how low does it idle to? if its to 500 then you're normal, if its below that then theres a problem. u can always set your idle point n make it higher

cars dont run on the battery while they're running. check your alternator output. and yes, adjust your idle and make sure it's set properly.

Check the brake booster and check valve. You may have a faulty check valve and/or brake booster.
