she moves, but doesnt seem like enough, i do notice when driving that she doesnt seem to coast as far as it should, man... im going to call some brake shops and see if they will get me in now...

you have no idea how much of a headache this has been, i have almost considered checking myself into the looney bin, this mazda has cost me a lot of beer money, and a constant paranoia of when my trucks going to die on me... hopefully this is the problem, so i can sleep at night, and get started on my white 91 b2200.... quick question on that- dies everytime i push on the brake, wont idle.. standard tuneup been done all fluids flushed and new, she drives nice until press on brakes.. thats most likely just idle right?

This sounds like a possible leak in the brake booster... When you apply the brake the engine acts as if there is a vacuum leak and dies.

Yup sounds like a vacuum issue

ya know what i forgot to add that the brakes are in need of a correct bleed or redo, i have to push em almost all the way to the floor to get em to stop, let me tell you how fun it is when engine dies, and then brakes dont want to work and you're in traffic, already embarrassed you're smoking everyone out like a cypress hill concert haha..

morning smoke usual bullshit, cept one day i started her and she was idling extremely high so i cranked that screw back under air filter to the left as bunch, got no results, so then i turned the other screw kind of underneath that one and then since, she dies when brakes applied.. when i bought her, she wasnt having idle problem, just the brakes to the floor dillema, took her across town to be parked until i could work on her, and after it sat about 5 days, cranked her up and got the high idle and thats where it started
