problems with my brakes
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?

no one can help?
master cylinder if there isnt a leak
continue bleeding the brakes if you got results. It can take a long time to remove all the air manually.Originally Posted by JDM onlyy
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
TOO BIG
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?
By there being brake fluid all over the wheel?
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
Is it losing fluid?
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.
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?
TOO BIG
do u have rear drums or disk
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
There ya go!
how do you bleed the mc mitch? man im just gonna come to the shop later..lol
rear disk.
that sounds good, i think i'm gonna go to mp82's shop and just let him take a look at it.
check and see if anythings leaking underneath where your pedals are. if so its brake master cylinder
hmmm i dont think anything is.
