Light Brake Pedal Feel?
Yesterday as I pulled into the driveway I noticed the brake pedal feel
was lighter than usual and that the travel required to get the car down to a
full stop was further than usual. Started the 80 up this morning and the
pedal felt light again. I revved the engine a it and checked the pedal,
same feeling. I went for a drive and about a mile down the road the pedal
feel became harder. By the time I got back to the house, 3 mile drive, the
pedal feel was normal. If pedal feel is light and I revv the engine it
becomes harder since there is more vacuum. I pumped the pedal with the
engine on, pedal does not change at all. With the engine off 5-8 pedals and
the pedal is stiff as a board. My system does not use a "bomb" so I think
that test does not apply to my car.
I checked the vacuum line to the booster and it is intact. Fluid level
is perfect, new fluid 3 months ago, Pentosin DOT4. Whats up?
Thanks again!
