Default need some advice

Its been months since i drove my jeep, it started running like crap... it will die unless im on the gas... this weeknend im going to try and get a new brake booster becouse i think that may be thre problem, its acting like a big vacume leak and i have checked everthing, also the brakes feel like poop... with new pads and everthing. is there a good way to check the booster? what else could i be looking at.

plug off the vacuum to the booster and see if it runs any better,then plug it back in and see if it is the same,also push on the brakes and see if this crates a vacuum leak.
I do not suggest driving with your vacuum disconnected to the booster,sorry had to add that,some might try.

put fresh gas in it.... check your air intake for rat/ small pest nest..... just some suggestions saying it in advance) don't bite my head off people about how long it takes gas to go bad....
