Hi everyone
I solved the brake problem. I suspect I have this problem. I like having many things going on at once. There was a point in my life where nothing seemingly happened and anything that did happen was negative. So now I fill my time up, to the pt where I go overboard all the time. Something I am learning I guess: how to manage my time.
I don't know. My mind has been searching for answers for a while now. Brake accumulator, brake master cylinder, servo, the pump... etc.. Soo many possibilities. So many more potential problems if I mess with them. For some reason I decided to leave it alone. I farted around with the other coupe, trying to save it enough to where I could drive it to and from storage. I am being forced now to put a car in storage(not happy). So I have been working diligently on getting this (es2) into storage. The allternator belt I noticed was slipping. That's been solved. This brake problem, floats in the back of my mind.
Well.. it's a damn vacumn line.
I had the rear diff line attached to the check vavle on the side of the vacumn resivor. This seemingly causes pressure in the brake system?
I don't really understand why this f'd things up. I am happy it was a simple fix. If anything I learned about the insides of the powersteering pump. Any time I am learning ussually I am happy with the situation even if failure is still happening.
It's getting there. Having two of them, makes me really realize and appreciate all the effort I have put into this coupe. I finally can sit back and start to enjoy all this effort. Something I normally don't get to do. Especially in my working environment.
Once again thanks for being patient with me.
Cheers
Josh
