Ok, I was with my friends, and saw Pirates of the Carribean, and then we got back to my friend andrew's house, and I was leaving. So I started the car, let it warm up a min, then drove to get gas (gotta go somewhere early tomarrow). I noticed my brakes being a helluva lot more stiff than usual. As I drove, it got more stiff to the point where if i put all my force I cant even lock my brakes (yeah yeah, bad example, but it aint workin right). Shortly after, I noticed my idle being really finicky, its idling low and sporadically.

Any ideas? Or is my motor about to go? :(

Car has 175k on the motor :(

vaccum leak? check you brake booster hose? It really does sound like a vaccum leak (though I really don't know which hose it would be honestly...)
