Hello all. alright, i'm going to try and shorten this up a bit. -One day, my brake pedal hit the floor while driving. i bought a BMC, replaced it myself and brought it to a shop to have the fluid flushed, (i'm not too good with brakes so i figured i'd rather have a professional do it). NOTE: i did NOT bench bleed the new BMC, i forgot to.
So at the shop, the tech went ahead and changed the brake fluid anyways. he had to open the bleeders a few times to regain pressure back on the pedal. after he was finished, my brakes worked. they only worked for about 3 days before i noticed my car would rock from side to side when braking, (only the driver's side front caliper was working). a couple days after that, my brake pedal again went to the floor, therefore, i have 0 brakes now besides the hand brake. okay , here's the wierd thing now:
i noticed when i'm at idle, when i push my brake to the floor quickly back and forth, my idle begins to drop. i also notice my aftermarket boost gauge begin to head to the positive pressure side. my car nearly dies if i continue pushing the pedal.
i checked my vacuum hose from the plenum, leading to the brake booster. noticed a slight crack in it, so i replaced it. this did NOT fix the issue, though... i'm stuck and i don't know what to check next. i'm beginning to think that even if i redue my brakes the corect way with bench bleeding, my brakes will go back shortly after because i think there's air escaping somewhere everytime i press the brake pedal... THANK YOU. i haven't been checking into it much before this, but i haven't had a full working set of brakes in a month.
