Why must I push my brake pedal 3/4th of the way down till the brakes finally actually start to slow me down, i've already bled them and the pads and rotors are all in good condition... I can't figure this out, could anyone shine some new light on my problem???
 
your master cylinder maybe bad. check that its on your firewall, or your booster could be leaking.

Yeah, if there's no air in the system and no external leaks, it's the master cylinder. I doubt it's the booster because then it would just make the brake pedal really hard.
 
Yeah, let us know what you find out. And what the problem was when u figure it out. Thanks -Matt
 
its on the firewall, its that black circle mudskip thats attached to right infront of the driver on the firewall... and the fluid level isn't going down any, so theres no air leaking in... If I go to a junkyard, what should I pick up??? just that giant black circle deal?
 
Mudskip? whats a mudskip. sorry, I've never heard that term before. Could you explain it a bit better maybe? I think I could help more then. thanks -Matt
 
Your master cylinder is where you put the brake fluid in. The brake fluid reservior is part of the master cylinder. So just get that.
