The problem: when the car is
at a standstill, with the
engine ON, the
pedal bottoms out when pushed fairly hard.
Car: 92 Prelude S non-ABS
Work I´ve done:
- Replaced the MC twice (thinking first re-manunfactured unit was bad
- Replaced all brake fluid with new Dot 3
- Bled according to factory manual THREE TIMES, with letting the car sit overnight before bleeding the last time
- Did NOT adjust booster push-rod
The good:
- Brakes work good enough to lock up all four tires
- With engine OFF pedal throw and stifness is very good with NO mushiness
- no air bubbles showed-up during last two bleed attempts
What could this be? Brake booster push-rod adjustment (is still factory set)? Air in the system? Incorrect pedal adjustment (checked and is only about 2mm off)?
I will drive the car for the next few days and then re-bleed. Any other ideas?
