Question

Brakes

`Driving home from work today my brake pedal just went stiff!!!

It will not release the vacuum.. even with engine off pedal is hard as a rock..

I am thinking Power Booster.

. Does this sound right?? I have vacuum when I take hose off of booster. How much vacuum should there be??? If I put my finger over the hiose I feel the vacuum. Master cylinder was replaced about 3 momths ago...
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like your vacuum pump is fine, I'd look at the power booster.
