So i bought this car Tuesday night, i have been driving around for 2 days with only having breaks about 40% of the time. I either have to down shift really fast or slow down enough and rip the ebrake. My brake pedal goes all the way to the floor. and doesn't stop me. I have no idea how to work on foreign cars... please help.


It is a 91 accord

 

oh it is a 91 honda accord

 

mayhave to bleed the brake lines. could have a bubble
taking that its disk brakes?

 

master cylinder.

 

bleed the brakes first and if it dont work its most likely ur brake master also check all your brake lines for possible leaks, brake calipers and wheel cylinders if it has rear drums, b4 u go and replace the master no need to waste money on one yet if u have leaks...fix any leaks u see before replace the master

 

ok i have had this car since last tuesday a total of about 6 days now and the brake situation has gotten a lot better, can this problem fix itself. I am having my car takin in to a shop tomorrow my buddy owns a place and he is going to check it out for me. but my brakes have been working fine.

 

i wouldn't count on the problem fixing itself it would prolly be wise to get it checked out especially something as important as the braking system

 

Most brake systems are some what simular. I think you shouldve just taking it to the shop instead of risking your life. An accident will cost alot more than a brake job
