Hi guys,
I tried searching before posting, but my scenario is a bit different.
I had to do a bunch of brake work on my 97 Honda Civic. Replaced the lines from the front proportioning valve all the way to the lines near the gas tank and flared the lines into the rear existing lines that were in good shape. I also changed the emergency brake cables, rear rubber lines, and wheel cylinders. Shoes were ok and reinstalled, and front brakes were not touched except for bleeding. Note that the lines were rusted out and the master cylinder ran dry. I know it's not supposed to, but it happened.
I checked under the car for leaks at any of the new unions on the brake lines and there are none.
When the car key is first turned to the accessory position the pedal is firm . When the car is started, then the pedal goes soft. I bled all the lines twice to make sure all the air bubbles were gone. Is the master cylinder toast? Is there anything else I can do to get the brakes back to normal?
