Taylor, you mean the fluid from 1990 could be bad I thought it lasted forever j/k.


Now on to the problem. sounds to me like you have some sort of a vacuum leak at the booster causing the pedal to lose the booster assist. Maybe a bad hose thats collapsed on the inside and when ever the engine pulls a lot of vacuum ie (letting off the gas to slow down) or a bad valve as mentioned before.
