Hello,

 

I've been working on the brakes. The pedal wants to go to the floor. The fluid level was fine, there wasn't any leaks at the bleeder valves. I bled the brakes, starting with the right rear first. I check for vacuum leaks using berryman's b12.  I check the rebound of the brake pedal with the engine off, it didn't want to pop back up fast like a leaky booster would do. It's not pulling to the right or left like a stuck caliper. 

 

I want to run a vacuum test, but don't know where to perform one at on my engine. And how much vacuum should it pull? Or if someone has something else that I can check that might be the problem?

 

Regards,

You should run your vin # through the recall check process and see if your car is included.  I know I just did my car, I'm in Canada, for the first brake recall and they have also given me a one time free repair for the problem you describe.  I'm not sure if the US has the same recall we do, but it is worth looking into.

I looked into the recalls where I'm at online, check the vin, but nothing with the brake system.

What was initial problem, what did they fix?
