It drives

I finally got the 93 Areostar to drive, it shifts perfectly. I sprayed the solenoid and the other sensor with some cleaner plus the vacuum hose was ripped at the modulator. But not all is well. Lots of small seal leaks, having a braking issue where the driver's side is holding more while dragging to the left when brake is applied. I had changed the caliper and disc pads.. Not sure what else to do.

Did you change the brake hoses going from the hard line to the caliper? I've had a couple of old hoses that had a dissection on the inside which blocked reverse fluid flow and prevented the pads from releasing.

Change caliper plunger, one was metal and the other the wood looking one, the right brake hose was sliced all over so that was changed also. Both brakes now are holding together. Since I did all that I have a vacuum problem. Sometime when I hold the brake the vehicle stutters and stall if I don't give it has. Any suggestions?

Check the big vacuum line going to the brake booster for leaks.
