Ah Mark, that's a GOOD clue. Your problem is most likely a vacuum leak on the automatice parking brake release. You should be able to find a vacuum hose that runs THROUGH the firewall. Disconnect it and cap it at the engine. See if that solves your problem. You might be able to easily find it under the dash and plug it temporarily as well. It's up by the parking brake. Capping it at the engine eliminates a cracked hose as well as the release unit. If that solves your problem you can troubleshoot further.
