You could squeeze those brakes plenty hard enough with no booster. I don't see how vacuum factors in here if you were pushing hard enough. If you're pushing hard and it's not stopping then something is preventing that. Pull your wheels off and pull all the calipers and push them in with a C clamp and make sure everything is moving OK. Then bleed the brakes. If you push the pedal and nothing comes out, then you've found your blockage.

With that duration I could see vacuum issues. The lobe separation isn't too radical though. bet it sounds good.

Get some fluid flowing in those lines. Two bleeders on the brembos.

How the hell am I going to get the calipers off if they are stuck? So close to the rotors and I have a lip developed since the car has 85k on it. Changed the pads a couple months before it went down but I was able to pry the pistons in a little. But certainly I have the power to stop it with no booster. I stood on it REALLY hard when it hit the 'shelf' half way down. So hard in fact I worried I'd brake the pedal arm. It did nothing to stand harder on it. Quote:
Only thing is I've seen guys put much bigger cams in their 5th gens and not skip a beat. I'll test it all for sure. Starting with the easiest. Bitch about it is I only have one day a week to really fool with it. |

Get the front wheels off the ground and check to see if they freeroll.If they do have Bonnie get in the car depress the brake and again check if they lock or free roll.If they freeroll after depressing the brake pedal work your way back to the master cylinder by applying pressure to the brake pedal and cracking open the lines and check for fluid pressure.
If you have pressure and no clamping force at the rotor I would say you have a piston frozen in the caliper bore.I would do the same for the rear also.A car sitting over time can draw moisture into some of the weirdest places and cause brakes to freeze or not operate properly. Just something to get you started,I am no expert but I did stay at a Holiday Inn express last night.

I'll ask my own price and may not budge. But if someone gives me what I want it will be sold. I don't want to but losing our health insurance has taken away our major protection and the cheapest we've found is 700.00 more per month. We always paid out of pocket for everything and had a cat only policy but can't get that anymore. I ain't giving this car away though. haha Quote:

I can't really see that as I get the hard shelf half way down. So it seems to be holding well. |

sounds like brake booster went out, rubber diaphragm probably cracked

I think your master cylinder has to come off to check the booster anyways. I know it's not usual for a bad master cyl to make the pedal feel the way you described but still possible. I've got a feeling you'll end up with a 6th gen soon after |
