Maybe a vacuum leak in power booster (if so equipped).
Did you install new hardware kits on each wheel (with new return springs)?
Are you using organic or semi-metallic brake pads? For that year vehicle, I would stick to organics - ESPECIALLY if brakes are not "power-assisted".
Check to see if the actuator rod for the master is not allowing the master cylinder piston to return completely (no play). Match up the back of the old master to the back of the new master. The depth where the actuator rod goes into the master may not be the same. It needs to have a little play when peddle is relaxed or you will experience those symptoms.

If number 1 plug wire get burn will it shut down?
Losing any of your plug wires will make it run very badly, on a 8 cylinder it may not kill the engine, but it will run rough, 6 cylinders and 4 cylinders have fewer cylinders and may shut down if 1 is lost, but i've see them keep on chugging away, just very rough sounding. You need to get it replaced as soon as possible, driving like that will damage the engine.

A 4 cylinder is more fuel efficient than a V6. Less cylinders, better gas mileage.
What causes a 1995 Ford Probe GT 6 cylinder engine to lose power while driving down the road?
Check your spark pugs...it could be that or worse case it could be a compression problem with one of your cylinders
How do you bleed a 4 port master cylinder?
If a pressure type brake fluid dispenser is available attach it to the top of the master cylinder. Other wise fill the master cylinder, start with the wheel cylinder that is furthermost from the master, and bleed until fluid comes out clean and free from bubbles. make sure to replenish the the master cylinder as needed. then proceed to the next farther wheel cylinder and repeat with the rest of the wheel cylinders. top off the master cylinder. Test with the engine off then with the engine running before driving.
Where is driving belt in Honda Accord 2005?
It does not have a drive belt. It has a serpentine belt and a cam belt on the V6. The 4 cylinder has a cam chain. The cam belt must be replaced every 105,000 miles on the V6.
How dangerous it is to drive your car if the head gasket is blown?
It is not particularly dangerous to drive a car with a blown head gasket other than the fact that eventually it is going to refuse to run. This is because there will be so much water vapor entering the cylinders that combustion will be impossible. Of course if you are driving a big ole eight banger, with only one cylinder blown, you can probably chug along forever, backfiring and spitting steam out the tail pipe and getting 3 miles to the gallon (very expensive). With a four cylinder car (most of today's cars), water in a cylinder or two pretty much means walking to work until you get the gasket replaced.
What can cause the brakes on a 2000 AWD Safari Van to fail for a split second at slow coasting speeds happens about once a week brakes are relatively new otherwise brakes work fine?
Replace the brake Master Cylinder. Keep driving this vehicle and you WILL have an accident. Have your brake system fixed. or your brake disks are out of round or the brake booster could have a hole in it. because master cylinders usually never go bad but to check look behind the master cylinder under the hood and if you see paint peeling or if it wet then you will haft to be replaced
How can I get my 2008 Toyota Solara timing belts replaced?
The 2.4 4 cylinder has a timing chain in which case requires no maintenance/replacement. The 3.3 V6 uses a timing belt and is required to be replaced every 90K under normal driving conditions. Most repair facilities that work on Toyotas can help you with that.

What is cylinder in cars?
It's kind of hard to explain, but the more Cylinders the bigger the engine. A V8 engine will have 8 cylinders, 6 for a 6 cyl., etc. All the way down to 4 cyl. cars, which will give you the best gas mileage, and the less amount of power. It all depends what type of driving you most will be doing. If it's for commuting to work for most of it's use, you might want to consider the smaller cylinder engines. Once on the highway, these cars keep up well with the rest of the flow of traffic. Good luck finding the correct vehicle.....
96 Grand Cherokee shutTing off while driving?
I have a 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with a 4.0 litre six cylinder and 4x4 transmission. It has died on me several times while driving but was only a fuse on the passenger side under the hood. It was located in the section that says TRANS. When I replaced the fuse it started right up.
