Well I just rebuilt my crx and now i have no brakes. 2 years ago when it was running everything worked fine. Now I did a ls turbo setup and now the peddle just goes to the floor. I got everything bled and when the car is off the peddle gets stiff. But when its running the peddle just goes to the floor. I need to get the fixed asap.

PLEASE HELP

 

Bump. I need help

 

are u leaking any fluid from master cylinder and it could be ur booster and do u ever get a stiff brake when running or is it always soft ? chech you check vavle and the small hose that goes to the booster from the intake mainfold

 

The peddle is really soft. It goes all the way to the floor. The check valve is fine and I don't have any leaks that I know of. I guess it could be the booster but I want everyones options on it first. B/c thats a log to have to change that

 

Is there any fluid loss from the master cylinder? Have you checked the wheel cylinders? Did you bleed the brakes with the car running?

When any of my boosters went out, the pedal got VERY stiff, but the brakes still worked.

If there is no obvious fluid loss, the pedal just sinks when the car is running and the air is out of the lines, I would say the master is shot.

 

No I did not bleed it with the car running. I just change masters and still the same ****

 

BUMP

 

Rear drums? make sure the shoes are adjusted up or it will never have a peddal. if its discs all the way around there has to be a fluid loss either from the lines or into the booster. If none of that maybe two bad masters in a row? Seen it happen before. Good luck with it

 

how did you bleed your master cylinder and brakes?? maybe it was performed incorrectly.

 

There were bled right. We bled them a few times.Pedle gets stiff when car is off but nothing when the car is on.

 

BUMP I need some ideas guyz

 

bleed the brakes with the car ON but not running the brakes will always get stiff after a few pumps when off thats your reserve incase ur car dies while driving you will have enough pedal to stop and wheel cylinders are for drums if u have any if the wheel cylinders are bad(leaking) u will still have some stiffness in the brakes just that one brake won't work

 

Bump I'm going to try a different booster tonight.
