My problem started with the brake booster fault light followed quickly by the engine check light. The car started misfiring badly. I checked the usual places for broken hoses and found one down by the brake booster. I repaired it, cleared the error codes and the servo error light came back within a couple miles. I cannot find any more broken or damaged pipes but the misfires are very bad now and the Durametric is showing them on 4 cylinders (both banks). It almost feels like there is water in the gas. The car runs reasonably smoothly over 2000 rpm. Any ideas where or what to check next?

Thanks

I found no less than two broken vacuum pipes down behind the servo pump. I replaced the broken pipes with 3/8 compressor hose with steel fuel pipe inside it to stop it collapsing and used clamps on every joint. I had everything I used to hand so it cost me only time and I suspect the repair will outlast the original parts.....
