760 power loss when braking 700

posted by  someone claiming to be jerry on  Wed Jul 21 21:38 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hey
I recently aided my roomate in making the jump to Volvo. His Blazer bit the dust at a measly 150k. We went searching and found a 760 turbo I think it was 187k and talked the guy down to $400. He was happy to practically give the car away to a good and loving home. Car runs fine and the turbo is fun (both my bricks are turboless) However there is one problem with the car that we were warned about and has only in the last couple days reared its ugly head. The car when braking radomly losses power. It will just stall out. The guy we bought it from said it'll happen about once every two weeks or so. He has tried changing out the master cylinder and various other fixes. I don't have any earthly idea what I'm talking about but if I'd have to make a guess I'd say it was something to do with the vacuum system. Any takers?
