Not a dumb question at all. Here's a check you can do to se if the irregular
idle and your suspicion of the leaky vacuum in the brake booster are related
or not: Remove the hose to the brake booster and cork up the open end, so
that the engine cannot pull air into the hose. See if the car idles nicely.
If so, it's probably the booster leaking. NOTE: Don't drive the car with the
booster disconnected...hard pedal and extended braking distance could get you
into an accident!
