So, I think I know what the issue is, but would like some clarification before I go chasing my tail. For reference, car is a '94GT, 5-sp.
When I'm parked, and I go to start the car, as soon as I push the clutch in, the car starts rolling if I'm on any sort of incline. The brakes don't hold it at all (my ebrake doesn't hold for nothing either, but that's another issue). I'm guessing I have a vacuum leak somewhere? I would think the car could maintain vacuum enough to at least give me some brakes, for example like when I leave at lunch, there should still be enough pressure in the system to keep the car from rolling shouldn't there? I'm not talking about a huge incline, either. It's the parking lot at work. Just sloped enough for runoff. Pedal is fairly stiff, but as soon as the car starts it gets "soft" and the brakes immediately have pressure.
