Default Can't stop!

I finally got my ED6 back on the road but now I can't stop. The pedal goes to the floor with no apparent pressure. I tried bleeding them. I replaced the booster and master cylinder. My pads and rotors are good. When I bleed the brakes, the stream was pretty weak. Any suggestions?

New brake lines. Correct me if I'm wrong but like 92-94 integra brake lines will fit right on. Thats what I have for my left one.

Just a suggestion. If it doesn't work, you can cross off another possibility. Go to the junkyard and pocket one if your cheap like me.

Inspect the lines and fluids, do you have any leaks? What kind of fuild are you dealing with?

What brake setup do you have is it all stock?

I did the DA knuckle/brake changeover on my CRX and had almost no pedal til I put the 15/16 m/c from ex on it.
Now, they're GREAT.

Why did you do all this work to began with ? Was the same problem occurring ?

9/10 is a bleeding issue, are you going in the right order ?

Yes, I had no pedal to begin with. And yes I know how to bleed brakes, master cylinder then RR LF LR RF. Bleeding the brakes was the first thing I did. I have no leaks and the lines look good. Only thing I can think of is the porportioning valve.

Yeah most of the times though it takes a few times to get it properly bleed.

did u bench bleed the MC?

did u reconnect the push rod to your brake pedal?

is your check valve on your booster working?

have you taken any of the steps to troubleshoot your brake system from the service manual? they got some good tests you can do in there

Is the master cylinder known to be good? If not, get a new one. Don't cheap out on brakes. And if you didn't bench bleed the master cylinder, then you can bleed brakes all day and still won't have pedal.

And to the guy who said to "pocket the parts from a 92-94 integra"... that was a jackass statement on multiple levels.
