braking pressure problem, continues
Recap- auto ls, car squeaks sometimes when I brake, not loud though. 2 days ago, at stop light with foot on brake pedal, pedal drecreased pressure and sank down, therefore car moved forward alittle, stepped on brake again and it braked fine. It happened a few times that day.
Other's comments--People say it's the master cylinder, or try to bleed the brake lines.
Today I drove it from 5-7 mins around the area, Braking pressure is fine, but still hear squeaking sometimes here and there. Why didn't the brake pedal's pressure decrease? could it be that I didnt' drive it long enough therefore that it isn't hot enough?

I think the pedal sinking and the squeaking are separate issues. Pedal sinking is the master cylinder. Mine was same way, would sink, pump brakes and OK. It was also intermittent. The brake squeak is worn pads? Easy enough to check the lining thickness. If it isn't that, try cleaning, reapplying the anti squeal grease on the shims. Maybe that will help. Note some pads just squeak. Are they Honda pads. If not use Honda pads next time you replace them. They seem to be better for squeaking.
Does definitely sound like the master cylinder to me. I drove around for a week thinking it wasnt the brake mc on mine since I didnt notice a leak before. Had the exact same symtoms as you. But when I finally showed it to a friend, there was a small leak, hardly noticable, on the bottom side of the booster. It was mostly covered up with dust/dirt. Also try checking to see how dirty your brake fluid is...
