I have a 93 toyota, it runs great but when the engine is warm and I have my foot on the brake the idle drops and raises continually. I hope this makes sense, anybody have any suggestions?

It has to do with vacum, check for leaks in all the vacum lines.

I checked for vacuum leaks and didnt find any. It only happens when truck is warm, thats why its throwing me off, how can I be sure it is the booster? if I were to replace booster is there a smaller booster from a different vehicle?

Sounds like the booster. you can replace it with a brake booster off of an 84-88 toyota automatic truck. Those boosters are smaller than the manual transmission ones.

When you depress the brake pedal if you hear air blowing then it is for sure your vacuum brake booster
