Your 1993 mark vIII brakes suck you have replaced the pads and the lines are good is it the master cylinder or a vacuum leak?

Sounds like you got air in the lines so you would have to bleed the brakes. Just saying that they suck doesn't explain much so I went for the bleed the brakes but if it was explained just what is going on with them maybe then it could be pin pointed.

Stiff brake pedal and had the master cylinder abs replaced what could this be?
Check engine vacuum and power brake vacuum booster. If the brakes work but just require extra effort to stop, it's a brake boost problem.
Your 1992 Corvette brakes slowly as if the rotors are glazed you have turned the rotors new pads replaced the master cylinder and vacuum booster Any other ideas?
Make sure calipers aren't frozen
Why does the S-10 1988 V-6 stall every time I press the brake we can't drive it and it sounds a little rough it was parked for about a month?
if you have power brakes, then it may be a vacuum leak. probably near the master cylinder. there should be a hose from the motor to the master cylinder. its possible the hose is the problem, not the master cylinder. when the brake is pressed, the vacuum helps push the brakes. when the vacuum in the motor is down to near zero then the motor will stall. so check the brake stuff near the firewall.
I replaced rear brakes front brakes master cylinder vacuum booster and still have Excessive brake peddle travel in 1990 GMC Sierra 1500?
If the pedal feels soft and spongy, you have air trapped in your brake lines. Did you prime the master cylinder before you installed it? Air in the brake line will not let the fluid fully compress. With all that you changed out, your brakes shoudl feel like new. Read up on how to bleed brakes or take it to a pro.......but don't continue to drive it the way it is.
What could be wrong with a 1998 jeep wrangler it has no brake pressure master cylinder has been changed and vacuum reservoir has been changed?
The brakes need to be bled, or is there no vacuum pressure? in that case you need to check all vacuum lines, including the ones for the cabin and other accessories, not just the brakes.
Why does break peddle go to the floor after they have been bled?
Depends on if all four brakes were bled, if they were look at vacuum leaks or a faulty master cylinder as the culprit
Why might a 1999 Chevy venture accelerate on its own making it difficult to stop with recently replaced brakes and then idle very high when put in park?
First thing I would look for is a loose vacuum line to the engine, sucking in the extra air. If the brakes feel "hard", look on the brake booster (the big round thing that the master cylinder is attached to) for a disconnected vacuum source line.
What would cause the brake pedal to become hard and only one wheel locks up I have replaced roters calipers shoes and the master cylinder?
Vacuum leak or bad vacuum booster Check to see if you are getting vacuum to it
Does a 1980 Jeep CJ-5 Have Manual Or Power Brakes?
It may have either manual or power. I am not sure if the factory put them on but I have seen them with power brakes. To tell if you have MANUAL brakes look for the master cylinder ( this is where you add brake fluid ) and see if it is attached to the firewall directly. if the master cylinder mounts to a some what large round unit with a large black approx. 1/2 " diameter vacuum hose attached to it it is POWER brakes.
I replaced the master cylinder and bled the lines on a 1991 s10 Blazer but still no brakes. What else could be the problem?
It could be a few things ...i would check the brake booster.. If it is bad it will make your pedal go all the way to the floor before it will have any brake pedal at all..also i would check your vacuum for the booster for your brakes to work you have to have vacuum on it for it to work !hope this helps, and as allways if you are not sure get a second opinion !
When you push your brake petal on your 1993 jeep Cherokee sport it sounds like air and the petal is hard?
vacuum leak at the master cylinder or vacuum line to the master cylinder
For a 95 Ford Windstar the brakes went and the front brakes have been changed with new pads and rotors - Back brakes were adjusted and there are still no brakes - what else to do to fix it?
what you have could be one of three problems. Check your reservoir to see if it has plenty of brake fluid, bleed your brakes,they may of lost the fluid while changing brakes. Also, if you have a vacuum leak it will cause your brakes not to work. Or it could be your master cylinder or your vacuum booster that has went bad. brewski
