bad master cyclinder replace that and youll be fine

 

Bleed your brake system (could be air in the system)

OR - your master cylinder and or power brake booster are going bad.

 

yea i was thinking that there could be air in the system ...im going to check everything ...if i cant figure it out ill bring it to my friend over at honda ...

 

is the pedal hard initially and then it gets soft?
is it always soft and just stays soft?
when you turn the car off and pump the pedal does it get hard?
if yes, then turn the car on, does the pedal get softer?

thanks

did you even check the fluid in the reservoir?

to check the booster:

slightly hold your foot on the brake pedal
start car
when car is started brake pedal should slightly sink an inch.

</TD></TR></TABLE>checked the reservoir and it was on point ...and i checked with the car off and started it and the pedal did slightly sink about an inch ...im going to get a price on a master cylinder ...and towmorrow my friend whos a tech at honda said hes going to come and check it out for me and see what the problem is and then i will know for sure what to buy ...

 

damn i have the same problem on my 3rd gen teg.

when the car is off, the brake pedal is hard. - n when the car starts, (holding down the brake), it gets softer, bit by bit.

i dont have leak on my brake lines.

 

its doesnt get any softer when i 1st start it up ...its after a little bit of driving when i come to a light while im sitting there the pedal will slowly drop the the floor ...i just want to know for sure so i can get it fixed right away ...

 

it the master clyinder

To swap the Integra seats into your CRX, you will need to swap the entire seat pan. It is not too difficult. A friend of mine installed '92 Integra seats in his '91 HF this way.

 

Usually my brakes are fine, but sometimes if I drive all day long and it is really hot outside, my car does this as well... I have to give myself almost double the stopping distance. I have brand new break pads on the car, but I do have 18" rims... Usually if I'm just driving around a bit, the pedal is firm and responsive. However, when I'm out for a long time, it's almost like the pads are melting onto my rotors... at least that is how the pedal feels... That's a master cylinder problem too? Thanks.

 

I had the same thing happen it was my rear caliper leaking might wanna check that.
