Default Anyone help out with info, car idles funny and idle rises if break is pressed.

What up h-t,
i got a 95 honda civic ex with a b16a swap. My problem is my brake pedal goes to the floor when stopping, i have bled the brakes n put all new fluid n still didint fix anything so im planning on replacing the master cylinder for the brakes. My other problem is my car wont hold a steady idle at times when i come to a stop but its only sometimes not all the time, can the master cylinder being bad cause that? because when i press the brake pedal my idle goes up. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks
(spelled brake wrong on title, my bad.)

1. Change master cylinder

2. Check all vacuum lines

3. Enjoy your vehicle!

Not necessarily. That's why I mentioned your vacuum lines. The brake booster is part of the vacuum system and therefore that's why you see a change in idle when applying the brakes. Cleaning the IACV was a good call, but replace the items previously mentioned and check all your vacuum lines for leaks. Correct me if I'm wrong, gentleman.
