If there is a leak on your brake booster vacuum line, you will feel the braking poor compared to normal....

The leak happens when I move the hose a little. I think that the leak is very minor until you twist the hose a little. I haven't really noticed any difference in braking but I halso haven't driven it all that much since last summer. Just wondering if this leak would trigger the cel codes.

I had a leak on that hose, but the braking wasn't affected. I think there's a check valve along the way that doesn't allow the brake booster to lose vacuum.

I tried driving the car with the hose disconnected while troubleshooting, and it took a tremendous amount of force to push that pedal down, almost impossible to stop the car without that vacuum line. Never thought it would have such an impact.
