Need a little advice!

Can anyone tell me what's going on with my Hilux ute? I have a 2000 model 2wd petrol manual ute. 3RZ-FE engine. Over the last couple of months every now and then it just refuses to start, not flooded nothing unusual, just won't start. Leave it sit for a couple of hours and away you go. Today I'm driving and as soon as I take my foot off the accelerator it stalls. No idle at all, plus the brake pedal went extremely hard. Parked up and an hour later its as good as gold. Its driving me nuts and I don't want to be ripped off by a mechanic that decides to replace everything he thinks it might be. Any ideas?

Vacuum leak---look at the pipe & fittings from the inlet manifold to the vacuum booster for the brake, Also booster could be defective. Do NOT drive until fixed properly-if it fails on the road you won't be able to stop from any speed. Loose manifold?

When you do finally get it to start, are your brakes operating normal ?

When idling and you apply the brakes does the engine change pace and starts to hunt and miss ?

Try this after you have it running, turn the engine off and count how many times you can press the brake pedal until it comes hard and doesn't go down as far. ( nice steady full pumps )

Brake booster could have a hole in the diaphragm or as the fellas above said it is pointing to what sounds as a vacuum leak
