So, my brake master cylinder and brake booster test perfectly fine... but my pedal still goes to the floor like I have more air in the lines than paris hilton has in her head.
4g's have the seperate abs reservoir/pump, after searching the only hint at working on this thing I have is 'cycle the abs' meaning go out and use ABS a lot and it'll cycle fluid from the bmc through the abs pump... ya right.
wtf do you do to cycle all of the fluid out of the abs system?
My ABS pump is f'ed, i'd have to replace it to engage abs which I don't feel like doing.
bb2/4's whatever's have the same 2-channel abs as an early NSX and I don't see any of them trying this on nsxprime (rich people pay mechanics).
blah. so ya. ideas? some air is somewhere in the system and the only thing I haven't manually bled it the abs system which in theory (in the 5g's) bleeds itself. I've bled the brakes ten+ times and rebled the bmc itself several times. I've also removed some of the brake fluid from the abs system and refilled it with fresh fluid to no avail hoping it was probably the 15 year old water holding abs reservoir brake fluid.... anybody? anything?
there is a bleed valve on the pump itself honda says you need a special tool to use it, it would help aolot but im sure it can be done without it. when i bled mine i barrowed the bleed tool and the abs controll cumputer from the dealer since i have soem good friends there. you could probly pay them to do it it only takes about 10 min so im sure tey wouldnt charge more than 1 hr. it is done sitting on one place. but your abs hase to be functioning properly
