I would try bleeding the brake lines first to make sure there is no air in the lines. Could be the brake booster (if applicable) or even the master cylinder. If your car has a brake booster maybe check the vacuum line on it first.

Your car could be losing brake pressure because you have a bad ABS control module. It also could be a bad brake booster.

That would be normal for a vehicle with power brakes.


What would cause oil pressure to drop when at idleafter car is at normal temp.?

Some vehicles` oil pressure will do this when at an idle. This is normal, if the oil pressure does not get higher when at higher rpms then something may be wrong.


What effect does it have on a car when you start it while your foot is on the brakes?

Shouldn't have any effect, either positive or negative. The brake pedal may sink a little once the engine has started running, but that would be normal as vacuum pressure increased.


What happens in the brake system of a car from the time a driver steps on the brake pedal to the time the car stops?

First the driver puts pressure in the foot brake, which then pushes a small piston, the piston then exerts pressure in the brake fluid. Then the increased pressure is transmitted through the fluid in the brake lines to a larger piston within the wheels of the car. Each piston pushes in a brake pad which the rubs against the brake disc, and the wheels motion is slowed down by the force of friction.

You could have a leak in your power brake system.


Why is my car's brake system not building pressure?

Your car's brake system may not be building pressure due to air in the brake lines, a leak in the system, or a problem with the brake master cylinder. It is important to have a professional mechanic inspect and repair the issue to ensure your safety while driving.

Melvin is an experienced driver He knows that the more pressure he applies to the brake pedal the faster his car will stop?

Braking distance is a function of pressure applied to the brake pedal.


Why does your car have to have brake fluid?

A car has to have brake fluid to allow for the effective operation of the brakes to stop the car. When we apply pressure to the brake pedal, brake fluid, which is largely incompressible, will transfer that pressure to the pistons that operate the in the calipers or the pistons that operate the brake shoes. Further, the fluid must be of the correct type for the system in which it is used. The continued safe operation of the brakes may be compromised by the wrong fluid.


Why no brake pressure when car is on only when car is off it has pressure 1997 cavalier?

You should have someone look at your master cylinder,sounds like the diaphragm has a hole in it.


What would cause for the brake pedal to go all the way down and the car will stop but the brake pedal doesn't feel like it has pressure when you step on it?

It seems like there might be air in your brake system. You should try bleeding your brakes and filling it with fresh brake fluid.
