I have a 92 VX and recently had a sloppy brake pedal that worked fine but there was alot of dead travel that had developed in it, so I purchased a brand new honda master cylinder.

I flushed and bled the system with ATE SuperBlue

After finnishing bleeding, I started the car and the pedal fell about 3" from the floor but had pressure near the bottom, with the car on pumping the pedal did not increase stiffness.

So today I went out and bench bled the master with it installed on the car with the finger plugging method (push pedal with fingers capped on the master, let one finger off the 2 holes, let the air come out of the one hole then re cover the hole and let the pedal out so fresh fluid is sucked in)

Rebled the system from back to front, started the car.

Exacally the same.

When the car is off and you pump the pedal it gets hard, but never rock hard, it will extremly slowly sink down to about half way then stop.

Any ideas?
