i was wondering if anyone else on here has encountered this problem with integras... the brake pedel falls to the ground slowly but reaches the floor and the car doesnt stop so u have to pump it to get it to stop... anyone had this or know the solution? ive changed the master cylinder and bled it correctly 3 times and still same problem.. thanks in advance

 

I've had the same problem , the first thing you do is take a hacksaw and cut the lines off back of the calipers then pump your break pedal until all the fluid runs out , after that follow it up by swiftly kicking the windshield , if that doesn't work try driving really close to the edge of a large cliff and see how well is stops , make sure not to pump them first , just head at the cliff at somewhere around 90+ kph that should do the trick. You can tell me thanks later , YOURE welcome

dude....wtf is ur problem he asked for help not, unwanted statements from idiots.
ok....back to the topic at hand, have u taken ur calipers off and looked at the seals on the pistons inside them, maybe they are bad. my back calipers piston seals were bad and my car would have trouble stopping, because of the loss in presure.

goodluck

 

did you bleed the master cyl? and are any of your banjo fittings leaking?

 

Same thing happened to me I ended up replacing my master cyl...but try bleeding it first if no change you might want to replace your master cyl. I got a rebuilt one from autozone for $120 and I got mine put in for about $85...

 

well if ya replace your booster/master cylinder, make sure ya bleed every line. If it still does it you can bleed the brake booster then try bleedin the line.

 

um is it just me or is the booster not bleedable... due mainly to the fact that it doesnt have any brake fluid running through it...

did you bleed all four wheels?

 

a lot of times you can bleed a brake system at all four wheels and still have a mushy pedal. this can be caused by two things. 1] check the proportioning valve to see that the valve isn't sticking to send unequal pressure to the rear or front brakes. you will see this when you bleed the brakes. a lite trickle of fluid from the rears as oppossed to a steady srteam in the fronts when you crack the bleeders is one example of a faulty prop. valve. 2] when a rubber brake hose goes bad the hose acts as a one way vavle. the fluid may be pushed out of the bleeder but the hose will not allow the fluid to flow back to the master or said proportioning valve leaving the system as you described.

 

If the sympton is the when you have your foot the brake it slowly goes to the floor You need a new Master Cylynder sounds like the seals have went bad.
