So I ran a couple of tests after I got home from work... I disconnected the vacuum hose from the booster and plugged up the vacuum hose leading to the engine so I wouldn't have a loss of vacuum from the engine. When I drove the car without the booster it worked fine. I had to press the brake hard but the pedal did not compress to the floorboard. I then reattached the vacuum hose and the pedal compressed all the way down with the slightest touch, hard braked and wouldn't release unless I pulled it up with my foot... I also tried tapping the brake immediately after turning off the car to see if the booster would retain the vacuum and compress the pedal to the floor. It didn't. I don't think that this has anything to the with the valve and everything to do with the booster.... thoughts?
