metalmonkey47 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I'd think it would be stiff if it was the brake booster Plus I'm sure it would run like ass when I jump on the brakes. I'd be opening up a rather heavy vac leak if it was bad. This car is odd. I"m kind of tempted to blame the reman M/C again, because it does look like I'm loosing fluid, but I haven't found any on the car. It's either leaking out at the calipers and burning off, or it's leaking out the back seal of the M/C. It's weird. The car was fine for a while after installing the M/C and bleeding, then I drove it hard and it's been shit ever since. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 like I said could be getting suck up in intake first off never buy reman Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 like I said could be getting suck up in intake first off never buy reman Very good possibility it's sucking back into the intake. I'm gonna go back and see if I can return the reman and pay the difference on a new one. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 So I found that if I turn off the engine, pump the brakes to let the stored vacuum out, and continue pumping until the brakes stiffen up, I get full brake pressure back 90% of the time, after starting the car back up. MAKES NO SENSE??? Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I can drive the shit out of the car, revving it up to 5500 between gear changes, and the damn thing has full brakes next time I go to stop, but after that it's soft again. More weird symptoms. Any more ideas? Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 You have a booster right? Make sure you dont have a leak. Also, I ask because I dont know, is there a check valve in the OEM booster hose? At least what? You go thru cars LUGNUTS like tampons? I can take a joke/razzin man :rofl: Fixed it for you. Quote Link to comment

Fixed it for you. yup, I've checked the booster as well, by plugging the booster vac line and driving it around the block. I still loose brake pressure. It does have a check valve as well, and I did verify it as well Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Try this test. Test one, while parked, hit your brake pedal hard and fast. How is the pedal? Nice and firm and up high? Test two, again while parked, apply very light pedal pressure, light you are at a stop light. Just enough to keep the car from rolling if on a very slight incline. hold this very light pressure for about 60 seconds. How is the pedal? Sinking to the floor? Low and mushy? Quote Link to comment
