Re: Erratic brake performance due to rough idle?

Could be the ABS. My pedal will pulsate slightly if I happen to hit the brakes at the same time that the ABS runs it's self-test. (You can see it at night, when you start that car and hit about 2-3mph while moving forward, the headlights will briefly dim slightly, that is the ABS pump doing a self check.)
