Hydraulic pump sound ('90 IMP)

[Tim Clevenger <tjclevenger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks.  That's zero for five for my Chilton's manual.
 It doesn't even mention the boost system.

>From my experience and understanding of the braking
system on these 
cars,
this is completely normal.  You are correct, they do
not employ engine
vacuum for brake boost, rather, there is a pump and a
pressure vessel 
that
is kept at sufficient pressure to give you the brake
boost you need.  
Be
thankful you hear that pump running, it is when you
don't is when you 
need
to start to worry.
