Default Problem

What's up guys, I am having some problems with my car and I'm hoping I can fix the problems with your assistance. It's a 94 With a GSR block, Type R Head, and Peakboost Boost Kit pushing 15lbs. On some occasions (not every), my cluth pedal will go all the way to the floor and stay there (mainly when in Reverse) and my car will slowly stall out. WHen this happens there will be a streak of fluid in my driveway of leaking brake fluid. I thought I fixed this issue last week when I replaced my Slave cylinder cause I saw that the black rubber piece was leaking. However the clutch pedal went to the floor again last night. Also sometimes when I'm driving the pedal will go to the floor and i have to lift it up with my toe and it will be fine. Another issue I'm facing is the tune. I know I need to get it tuned asap, but will needing one throw **** off a bunch? For example, I just came back from vacation and my car was left at home for a week. When I went to drive it, my exhaust sounded more quiet, as well as my BOV and vtec didnt sound like it was kicking in. Also when I floor it, my check engine light will pop on and the car will be shut off. When this happens I simply turn the key back and then forth and the check engine light comes off and its fine. Does this sound like a tuning problem? If you need any more information or pictures or anything let me know, I'll do whatever to better assist you. Thanks

When the CEL comes on, leave the engine running and jump the service connector to pull the trouble code.

Try rebleeding the clutch. I think you still have some air trapped in the system. Otherwise, the clutch master cylinder may be bad.

Have you tried to pull the code?

Is fluid still leaking from the slave cylinder?

I'm fairly new to this so I'm unframiliar with "pulling the code". How do I go about doing this? And no, I don't believe the fluids still leaking from the slave, I'll check now. But thanks for your help Ateam

Did you bleed the hydraulic system after replacing the slave cylinder?

Try bleeding the clutch again. If that fails to solve the problem, then consider replacing the clutch master cylinder.

I just got done bleeding again. I was looking for any leakages and I found a drip coming from the right of the right bolt. I tried tightening them to see if it was lose by some chance and the left bolt won't tighten fully. I also found fluid coming out of the line connecting to the metal line into my slave cylinder (very slow and only the smallest bit comes out when i press the clutch in)

I checked my master cylinder and there is no leaking where it attaches to the clutch pedal. What do you think could be causing me to lose pressure sometimes?

I just took it out for a spin and its shifting super smooth, felt almost automatic. I feel as though i fixed the problem by rebleeding, or are these symptoms of an error?
