Check your booster hoses. Probably air in lines though.

I'm thinking either it need more bleeding or it has a lot of air in them. Maybe I did the sequence wrong?

What do you guys think? Or did I just answer my question? lol.
When you sit at the stop light does the brake pedal slowly drop to the floor? Either way, sounds like the master cylinder is leaking internally.

I use to bleed my brakes, then drive around and do it again. That seemed to get them firm.

One more, still my favorite...


A couple things I've done recently that most wouldn't notice:
1) White windshield sprayer nozzles because the black drove me crazy.
2) Ant. block-off plate.
3) Updated badges on the rear, no more black background.

you wont notice an external leak. the fluid is leaking past the o-rings internally. if you bleed it more and still have this problem than it sounds like your master cylinder is bad.

hey guys...... watch out for PEEWEE. he's a low down dirty dog when it comes to buying.

back in sept/oct he gave a deposit for some seats that he was supposed to pick up oct 16th. i was turning people down left and right that wanted to buy them and held them until now. ive given him my cell number, email address, myspace page, responded to his PMs and posts here on H-T. and he does a chargeback out of the blue for his deposit!!!!

now i owe paypal the $240 for his $400 that he owed to me. PLUS paypal charged a $10 dispute/chargeback fee. im losing money because he didnt pick up his seats that are still sitting in the garage.


there are more details to this story, but im just venting right now.

a deposit is just that, a deposit until the balance is paid. i could have sold these back in sept but i was being the standup guy and holding them for him.
