Question
Hi.

I think my 89 Chevy Beretta has a vacuum leak.  The car likes to stall when applying the brake.
I would like to fix this myself.  Any pointers?

Answer
If it only stalls when you apply the brakes, it could be a leak in the brake booster. To check it you can pull the hose off of the booster and plug the hose. If it still stalls, you have another problem.
If it has a vacuum leak somewhere else, you should be able to hear it. Just find whats leaking and repair it.
