Hey guys! I’m working on a 94 Honda Civic Del sol, and I need some help.
I tried jumping on a Honda forum for the sake of relevancy, but everyone there seems to insist that I just don’t know how to bleed brakes. Here’s the situation:
The problem it was having is one day the brake light came on, due to low fluid. One week later the brake pedal started going all the way to the floor, and the brakes were barely slowing the car down. Very dangerous and scary to drive.
After visual inspection of the brake system, I discovered a leaking proportioning valve. I replaced it (big pita) and bled the brakes.
Problem is the pedal still goes all the way to the floor, and the car barely stops. I visually inspected all of the other lines and components, and I can not seem to find any leaks. Also the brake fluid level is not changing (indicating no more leak, am I right?)
Anyone know what can be causing this? The car has a brand new master cylinder, a new used prop valve that is not leaking, no leaking lines and no leaking calipers.
If anyone can offer any ideas on this it would be greatly appreciate do.
Happy new year.
