I have a 95 ex coupe. When I apply the brakes, the pedal moves slowly towards the floor. The car stops fine, but you have to keep letting off, to get back at the top of the pedal. Ive bled the lines, and there's no air.

This is the third Honda Ive had with this problem, but Ive never fixed any of them. I just drove them like that until I sold them. Could it be the brake booster?????? Maybe the diaphram is leaking?

Its got to be a common problem. Anyone else had experience with this?

Not really sure what your talking about as far as the problem. Try being a little more descriptive.

"Well, its a pretty simple system. Two pistons, one at your foot and one at the wheel, connected by a line."

I have power brakes. Thats why I think it could be the booster. It has a rubber diaphram, in there that works like a vacuum motor. My theory is that IT'S leaking, but...I dont know.


Let me try to better describe: When Im driving, and I depress the brake pedal, it has good pressure at first, ..then slowly starts moving toward the floor. It doesnt feel spongy, like when you have air in the lines. It feels good, until I keep braking, ...then I lose pedal.

This is the third honda Ive had, that did this. I figured it would be common problem for others.
