    ok...i asked a lot of people..but we're all not sure...

    my brakes are not biting very well...i took fuji for a test drive the other day and it will not brake...when you push the brake pedal down..it goes all the way down to the floor...so...we check the fluids...looks good...haven't touched the brakes at all.

    so...what can it be??? anyone??


    thanks!

    try flushing it, even though you haven't messed with it?

    Maybe, something to do with the brake booster?

    Just thinking of stuff that happened on the old hatch.

    did you use the STOCK vaccume line from the booster to the intake manifold? because it had a special 1 way valve in it!
