I have a audible hissing noise coming from the brake pedal. Not sure if it's positive or negative pressure. Brakes work fine. When I tap on the brake pedal, the noise goes away. When I tap on the pedal again, the noise come back. The engine also has a rough start when it's cold outside, but once the engine is warmed up it runs fine. I had the fuel filter replaced and the spark plugs and intake seals have also been replaced as well. Could these (2) seperate issues be related?

Thanks in advance!

I'm having the same hissing noise in my car! Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I wanted to take my car to a mechanic but wanted to maybe have some idea of what the problem was before taking. Any help you can provide would be great! Thank you!
