GSR - Soft Brake Pedal - New MC
Hey all,
1998 GS-R w/ ABS.
About a month ago I noticed my pedal sinking to the floor with average pressure. The general concensus was that the Master Cylinder was going. So I replaced it today with a NEW aftermarket MC. Bench Bled the MC first (with a kit), then placed it on the car and bled the lines clockwise starting from Front Left. As stated in a post on toronto integras. (I'm thinking it's wrong now, but still not a big deal)
Now the pedal doesn't sink to the floor when the car is off, and actually it was really stiff as I was bleeding the last corner. However, when the car is on, the pedal becomes soft and will go all the way to the floor again just like before (w/ average braking pressure).
At this point I'm assuming the brake booster or something around that area is the problem, but I really am not sure how to troubleshoot it. The car has ABS, and I don't know if I'm supposed to bleed that or ??
I just did brake booster tests based on this post on honda-tech

and everything passed no problem.. I'm totally at a lose here now.
Any tips to help me troubleshoot this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks.
