Like it says, I changed my master cylinder and then bleed my brakes, now when I press my brake pedal the engine dies.

what the hell is going on?

I searched but Im not exactly sure what to search for so I havent found anything, Im still searching but if anyone had any insight in the mean time it'd be much appreciated

 

Inspect your vacuum lines, might possibly have a vacuum leak somewhere, too much engine vacuum robbed by the power brakes when hitting the pedal.

 

You check the booster vac line?

 

All of the vaccum lines/hoses were fine before I changed my MC. Could they have gone bad overnight? What exactly am I looking for/how do I? Theres no blatant cracks or holes I know that much....

 

Obviosly they were fine BEFORE you changed it if the problem persists after the change was made. Just make sure that you didnt hook up a hose to the wrong port.

Does the engine die off ONLY when you touch the brake pedal? Have you had similar problems in the past?

Thats my point, the lines are exactly as they were before, I didnt unplug any of them, its not necessary to change the MC.

Yes the engine dies only off the brake. It idles and revs normally, but a press of the brake pedal and she dies

 

Did you blead the master cylinder?

 

It sounds like your MC vac. check valve is toast.

 

Well, I didn't do anything and the problem just went away. After I was on here last night I went out and checked the vac lines then gave it a try and it didn't die and hasnt yet today, so I think we're good.

Thanks for the input fellas
