id check the fluid level, normally a pedal that mushy is a leak somewhere, im guessing a possible master cylidner leak. to check if its the master cylinder, if you push it real fast and it sinks and doesnt stop much let it up and press down quick again, if its stronger now, feels like it built up pressure, you have an internal leak in the MC. basically you shouldnt have to pump your brakes to build pressure with the car running. sometimes thats tricky tho because altho it shouldnt happen with a bad booster sometimes it does, which is odd. But of course if your MC is leaking too long the leaking fluid will build up inside the brake booster and eat away the diaphragm....which would kil the booster. but with the booster kill your pedal would be harder to press. bah whatever, disregard this whole last paragraph, im being to technical i my head. kevin. yeah the booster isnt really open like that |
basically, if i pump it real fast it just hits the floor a lot, doesnt really build up any more pressure. It has some resistance but is still easy to hit the floor with.
and the fluid level is still at full. i considering just living with it until i get all the 5lug swap stuff going. |
and out of nowhere comes the 3800 stumble and a mysterious idle fluctiation with electrical load placed on and off.
****. |
haha! no n1 for you sir. time for full tune up... yay
|
when I did the stainless lines and took everything apart for paint the brakes felt good then got soft after a few miles of driving.
I had to go back and bleed them again, now they feel good again. |
bleed brakes, air in the lines probably. start with rear passenger, go to rear driver, go to front passenger, then to front driver. or was it opposite of that? ****!! gonna probably need somebody to help you out. either you pump the brake pedal, or other guy does.
