Shakes or Wobbles problem
2001 Ford Focus 4 cyl Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
My Ford Focus has been vibrating for a while now but it hadnt been a big problem. Usually it would shake during the cold seasons. But, about 4 days ago I was at a red light and noticed not the usual shaking. It was still vibrating but it was pulsing back and forth. This only happens when my foot is on the break. If I put it in park, it stops. Yesterday I was at a restaurant drive through with my foot on the break and the car died. But then turn on easily but not getting rid of the pulsing. Any suggestions?

Look in engine copartment find the master cylinder the can looking thing it is attached to is booster see the rubber hose then look for a plastic valve end of hose hooked to booster. Replace
