Default 5th gen Brake problem ---- Cont.

OK now I posted my problem last week & I did what a few of you guys suggested.

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1206878

<U>Heres a recap of the problem</U>

<U>The car </U>- 95 Accord lx 4 door w/ ABS

<U>The problem</U> - as I press the break pedal, it tends to go to the floor & just slow down the car, but not really. If I pump the break pedal 2 times it works fine.


Many of you guys told me that I needed to replace the master cylinder. Well today I took the car to the garage to have the master cylinder replaced & i still have the same problem.

Also when the pedal goes the whole way down my car starts to idle down really low as if it going to die.

What could be the problem ??

Did you add rear disc brakes? Because the 95 Accord LX comes with drums in the rear and it does not have ABS. Just want to know ill look into your problem and let you know.

5th Gen Accords with ABS came with disc brakes on the rear from factory.

The master cylinder is on the booster.

I would rebleed your brake system farthest away to closest. I would also make sure your MC and your booster are adjusted. Follow specifics in your haynes/chiltons/helms manual.

If this doesn't do the trick I would guess there is air in the system...check your connections and do basic diagnosis of the system; you're losing pressure somewhere.

When bleeding the brakes, does the car have to be running ?

Check your chiltons or repair manual for the details....I don't remember off hand.
