Alright, hate that so soon I am having to put another "HELP" thread up so soon.
Problem: Just the other day while I was driving into town, I noticed my brakes were kinda mushy. Didn't think to much of it except maybe I needed to put some brake fluid in it. So, I stopped by Napa, and bought some brake fluid. Put it in and seemed fine after. Well, late yesterday night while driving, the brake pedal would sink all the way to the floor but I could let off and have full pedal response but loose it instantly. So, I got worried and just decided to wait until I could make it into town today. I got up and went to town this morning and went to Napa to see what they thought the problem might be but they were closed. On my way back home, I come to a stop sign and apply the brakes to only find out the car is not stopping fast enough. I had to pull the E-brake alittle to stop in time. I can apply the brakes all the way to the medal and the car slows down but takes awhile to stop. I've checked for leaks and nothing. I'm thinking it might be the master cylinder. I've checked over for vacumn lines being un-done and leaks so its the only thing I can think of is the master cylinder or brake booster.
My question: Do you know of any other things it could be? I would greatly apperciate the help from anyone and I will give +13 to any good responses.
In advance, Thanks fellow IA members.
