Default start up issues

What will cause a rough start up and a 12-1500 rpm idle?? but the idle is normal after a lap around the block..Also if I apply the break and take it off its like the engine shutters when in park but i cant notice it on the road ive never noticed or seen anything like this before [&:]

What do you mean by a rough start up? When mine is cold and I start it it does idle high for a short time too but it drops with in a minute or so, I think they all do.

may be something to do with the brake booster

the brake booster works off of the vaccume of the enging and that may be why when u hit the break it is like that but iv never heard of that ever happening

may be something as easy as a vaccume line or as bad as you need a totaly new booster

I agree with johnt2k7, it sounds like a vacume leak. Harbor frieght has a vacume tester on sale right really cheap. If there isn't one close by you can get it on line.
