I am having a brake problem with our 1990 Six speed. At this time I can not detect any leaks and the on board diagnostic systems has not flagged any problems.
Most of the time the brakes and brake pedal work great. However, while applying the brake it will suddenly fade down about an inch and you can feel the car not stopping. A quick double pump and they are fine again.
The master cylinder is at the appropriate level and the pads are within normal limits. The car has 140,000 plus miles and has never had a deep bleed of the whole system. It does not pull, vibrate, or make any noise. The e-brake works perfect.
The anti-lock mechanism makes all the normal noises in reverse and shows no signs of leakage. The problem has persisted now for several months. It seems no worse and no better.
Any ideas?
