HELP i LOST MY BRAKES!!!!!!!!
so.... (93 jeep XJ sport no ABS)
yesterday i drove on the highway for about an hour.. when i was exiting my park brake light came on and my pedal was mush.
2 seconds later it was alright again....
so i drove around for the past day and everything was cool.... i just drove from home again and the same thing happened... only this time the problem persists... the pedal is down to the floor, and it's hardly stopping. but it DOES feel like there is hydraulic pressure helping (not just mechanical pressure on the brake pedal.)
i looked in the manual and it says that when the light comes on, there could be a leak, or a loss of pressure. my brakes were done a year ago, with new brake lines.. i checked, no leaks.
so i took the vacuum line off the booster and my engine only reved up to 1000 RPM.
i just cleaned a buddy's throtle body and when we took his off it reved between 2500 and 3000 RPM.... so is there a vacuum problem with my POS??... brake booster?
anyone? also, i smelled the brakes burning when i got home so i sprayed them with a touch of water, and it sizzled off the front disks... what does that mean? brakes over heating?!
this is my daily driver
