i still dont know wat i shuld be looking for when i try to find the vacuum lines to the brake booster

Zybe,

Very simple.

In the front trunk, there is a black hose connected to the brake vacuum can. It comes up through the bottom of the front trunk. That is the brake vacuum hose. Check it in the trunk, then lift and jack stand the car and check it under the car. When you get under, you will see this hose connects to a steel tube running to the rear of the car. Follow the steel tube and you will find another black vacuum hose where the tube steel tube ends. That is the second - and last - brake vacuum hose. It goes to the engine where it gets its vacuum signal. Check it for cracking also. Do these two hose checks before you consider pulling the booster and naming it as the problem child.
