problems with my brakes

[JDM onlyy]

okay well i got a 1994 acura integra gsr. i had a problem with my brakes. they were super soft whenever i stepped on them and then they would drop on the floor. so i decided to bleed them. well now they're more stiff and firm but if i hold the brakes for awhile, they still fall down to the ground.

can anybody help me out with this?

is it the master cylinder?

or is it the brake booster?

or could i have a leak in my lines?

[JDM onlyy]

no one can help?

continue bleeding the brakes if you got results. It can take a long time to remove all the air manually.

If you want to just get it over with, take the car to a brake shop and ask them to bleed the brakes with a machine... probably charge you 40 bucks, and save you a ton of time.

master is bad or a leak. maybe you have a bad caliper causing the problem

master cylinder if there isnt a leak



was told the master cylinder has already been changed from previous owner.

master has been changed by previous owner. but i was also told it could be a bad caliper. how would i check to see if it was the caliper?

Changing the master cylinder does not mean the master cylinder is good.

Lol, well damn, I guess the first one ain't it.


As for the second one, I thought bout that too. But I didn't want to spend money on something I might not need. Cash is kind of tight right now.

loose or damaged brake lines

Try bleeding the master cylinder. Most case alot of people tend to forget to bleed the new master cylinder before the installed

I had the same problem as you before on my crx but then after i installed the new one on and got it bleed, it works like a charm.

[seanrg1116]

yea man its prob the master and it is the cheapest part to replace besides the lines. just change it out again.... is there any fluid leaking on to the booster from the master?

take the brake lines off the master cylinder!

Install either plugs,bolts into the master with the right thread pattern to block it off... then mash the brakes an hold if they leak down still its the master cylinder,. if not then you might have either vaccumn issue, or a rear brake leaking... LMK if I can help
