The breaks are really soft on my 1990 Accord, and they get even softer on hot days. I can press them all the way down to the floor and it still keeps rolling! I'm not sure if the break lines need bleading, or if it needs a new master cylinder? Any thoughts? How can I figure it out?

Also, When I start the car, it turns over but then almost immediatly (1-2 seconds) it dies, almost like it's not getting gas. I have to pump the breaks and turn it over several times to get it to start, and then it runs fine. It gets worse when its been sitting or its cold. Any thoughts?

Thanks very much for your help!

 

if brake pedal travels to the floor then u need the master cilinder.

the second part i didn't get it.
what do u mean by "u have to pump the brakes several times to get the car to start.

if the brake pedal goes to the floor, make sure u dont have air in the lines, before u replace the master cylinder.
