Any help out there? Thanks

Re: 97 bonneville stall,irrattic idle

HI everyone!!!!! I found out what the problem was! I encourage anyone having similar problems to save themselves alot of $$$$$ by having the vaccume power booster checked to make sure it is not faulty.This is a common problem, cost of booster $140.00 and I also learned there is updates that the computer on these car need!!!!!! $65.00 I really hope my problem will help others have this checked before spending big $$$$ on sensors that are good.

Where's the Vacum Power Booster located & what does it do for the engine? Or is this part of the power brakes?

The power booster is located on the drivers side firewall,it is part of the braking system but it draws vacume from the engine,if it is bad it creates a bad vacume leak.
