If you have a symptom while braking and not otherwise, I would suspect the power brake booster and hoses. Check closely for leaking hose, the booster can just fail in this way.

Where is the booster located because I'm not leaking brake fluid or powersteering fluid I checked both because I thought it might have something to do with something off the belt. Would air filter or spark plugs have anything to do with this??

I've got the same problem, Thekid320. Did you ever find the problem and solution?
