Has the master cylinder been leaking? At the engine bay or just above interior brake pedal? If not I would look elsewhere.

<p>Master cylinder leak, brake booster failure, or check valve failure. &nbsp;Start by checking for leaks, both under the MC, as well as at the brake pedal assembly. &nbsp;From there, we can look into testing your brake booster.</p>

Thanks for you help

If possible get one for a 91 EX SEDAN. It's a 15/16th and bolts right up to the 92-95 brake booster. No lines need to be re bent. Now is a great time to upgrade!

Your pedal will inspire a LOT more confidence.
