Hey, i drive a 4th gen 1990 accord
in teh winter every once in a while when i pushed on the brake to stop the brake would just continuie to move in until it reached thefloor
on warm sunny summer daysit happens every time i try to brake
it just moves straight down into the floor, yes it does stop but i have to really push down be4 it hits the floor so i can stop on time or i have to realease and push the brake again...any ideas on whats wrong and what i should do 2 fix it?

 

Check the brake fluid level.

 

sorry i aint the best with cars i'm tring to learn what i can and i've been experimenting and working with friends and such
how do i check the brake lvl fluid?
wherecan i check it?

 

u might have a leaking caliper or wheel cylinder.

 

check the calipers see if u have a hole within the rubber area if that checks out check your brake fluid levels

 

I have the same problem, it is the master cylinder that is bad.

Correct

 

you could just have water in the lines, not alot just a drop or 2 will cause the fluid to go bad. you might just need to bleed the brake lines and replace the fluid

 

Bleed the brakes before you go replacing parts. 90% of the time, bleeding is the answer.
