:confused:This is about my 91 Ford Tempo,

I'm trying to get her to be able to run again, i accomplished the running part, now the stopping part is the thing thats keeping me from putting my eclipse away for good for winter...

It started out my pedal would slowly depress as i was driving and had to pump the brake pedal to stop.. I found out that i had a giant brake fluid leak..

So i pulled my dsm out of the garage and put the tempo into it expecting to just replace these lines and be done. Well, we replaced all lines and now there is no leak what so ever.

We could bleed the drivers side (front/back) a few times but the passenger wouldn't come out..

Everytime i pumped the brake, if i pressed hard enough it would go back down..

WHATS GOING ON? :confused:
 
I had the same exact problem, it does sound like the master Brake cylinder. On my 93 Accord the brake pedal would just sink in and id have to hit the floor to slowly feel stopping, we changed the MBC and it fixed the problem:thumb:
