    Default Brakes!?!?

    I have a 93 Del Sol Si and as of yesterday, my brakes started going to the floor if I put pressure on slowly, but would hold if I pumped them fast in a "panic stop." There are no leaks from my master cylinder, my brake fluid is still full, my pads are good, no CEL's, and no vacuum leaks.

    No brake service has been down recently, so I doubt it is air in the lines.

    Thoughts and fixes?

    Thanks IA

    Youve either got slide pin on a caliper thats stuck or your master cylinder is going bad.

    I'm going to change the master cylinder. I found a new one cheap, I'll work from there...

    Unless there are other opinions?
