If its a diaphragm type then it may have split.
If it a piston type may be sticking (will need opening up and cleaning)

Or your vac pipe may have disconnected itself, if it has reconnect it asap or you could be in trouble.

Very easy to strip mate, just be careful when undoing the bolts/screws as there will be a spring in there which will send everything flying.
