when i hit the brakes idle goed down

Hi

I have a FOCUS 2001 1.6 - 16v, for a while when i hit the brakes in stop position the idle speed goes down. You have any hint in this matter.

Best regards

If when coming down to idle this happens, remove, clean and lubricate the idle speed control valve, located underneath the inlet manifold.

The brake servo takes a vacuum from the inlet manifold so you may have a leak hence why when you push the brakes it starts vibrating.
