Default PLEASE HELP? Major brake problems

hey, I own a 1994 acura integra ls, and i have been having some issues with my anti-lock brakes. When i start the car up in the morning, sometimes the abs buzzes and sometimes it doesn't.
When the abs light is on , my brakes are fine and work with no problems. When the abs light is not on, when i come to a stop the brakes skip about 3-4 times before i can stop. In the past week it has gotten really worse. anyone have any ideas on what is wrong with it?

When was the last time you checked the fluid?
What do you mean skipped?? Are you having to pump the peddle? Does the peddle go to the floor slowly when pushed. Or do you mean the ABS engages way early?

Sounds like you might not have any pads left. Have you checked those? Metal on metal is not a good thing. The further down the pads get the worse the peddle feel.

I have similar symptoms on my car. I have a bad LR wheel sensor which has a high impedance. I received codes 4-8 and 5-8. Did you pull your ABS codes?

What were the stored ABS codes? You most likely have a faulty sensor. The codes will tell you which sensor is the problem.
