Changed EGR...Now I wait and See....READ LAST POST BIRDMAN! Reply #137 – January 26, 2007, 12:53:13 PM Electrical problem?? And here's another thing. How do you clean out all the crud located in the Reservoir? I don't want all the running through the brake lines. Is there a plug or something at the bottom of the tank to drain whatevers in there?And I'm still at a loss how having dirty fluid would trip the light to come on?(When I'm driving and hit the brakes, only the yellow anti-lock brake light comes on.)

It's one of those general maintenace things that a lot of car guys hate to do. It really is a pain in the ass. Not so much with 3 people though. I still need to do it on my car. I also need to switch over to braided line. I think I'm getting line expansion on my car, because I have a really mushy pedal. Quote Selected

Changed EGR...Now I wait and See....READ LAST POST BIRDMAN! Reply #143 – January 27, 2007, 01:23:53 AM why do you need abs? Unless all you do is drive on ice, its pretty useless in my opinion. I have driven abs cars, and they stop faster on ice, about the same on snow/wet, and make it so that you can turn the wheel when you are braking heavily. Unless your turning and braking hard on ice you will prolly never use it. Especially if you are following the speed limit and being a cautious driver. Oh and you live in Arizona. It might get below freezing once every couple of years.A master cylinder cost me $18 or there abouts for my 86 5.0. I cant see why that one wouldn't work just as good.You just need to brake down and fix the car. If you want to drive a 18+ year old car, then you have to maintain it for the last 18 years. All that parts are as old or older then I am. Take that into account. If you want a car with decent power, handles good and has alot of horse power, buy a new honda and don't look back. Otherwise, do some reading and searches and fix what is wrong with it. Quote Selected

I bought a complete set from Solo Performance (eBay) and they let you pick and choose your set of bleeders. Which was great for me as I had SN-95 brakes in the rear... although it turned out that they are the same as TCs, lol. Plus they come with a catch bag as well for about $30. I had my brakes bled in no time. Although I would really like to try out that Motive Pressure Bleeder. :D Quote Selected
Changed EGR...Now I wait and See....READ LAST POST BIRDMAN! Reply #146 – January 27, 2007, 11:22:31 AM Forget those speed bleeders. I've got a MightyVac had operated vac pump. Hook up the hose and lossen up the bleeder and suck the fluid right on through. Tighten it back up after the air is out. Mine cost me $35 and is does tons more than just bleed brakes. I picked it up at Oreilly's auto they had them on the shelf.You could also use it to suck all the nasty out of the M/C and the S/C then none of the will get sucked through the brake lines and brake parts. The mighty vac is very easy to operate and it comes with a book telling you how to use it for all sorts of auto stuff. Quote Selected

Reply #148 – January 27, 2007, 11:51:33 AM I'm just trying to figure out when bleeding brakes became a multi-person affair?I have NEVER had anyone to help me do any work on my cars, including bleeding brakes.I have used the same little catch can/hose with std bleeders for years.My Scorpio w/ ABS was easy. ON those the fronts bleed normally and the rears, with the car running (or the key in RUN) just open the bleeder, depress the pedal, and let the pump do the work.Sounds to me like you've gotten yourself into another car that's going to take some money to get running properly....
