Hi eugenepeter,
When brake assist is low, it usually is a vacumn leakage between the master cylinder and booster. There is a seal between the 2 components and tends to go bad over time.
To test the component, disconnect the brake booster vacumn hose and plug the intake manifold end. Start vehicle and see if the idling speed regularises.
