Posted May 14, 20186 yr comment_549249 Hello Guys, 72 240Z. I'm almost ready to drive the car I bought last year, but I can't get a brake pedal when engine running. It feels pretty firm with engine off. I have replaced everything except booster and lines. I have bleed multiple times, so I'm sure of no air in system. In my experience when a booster is bad the pedal will be harder when car started. Any idea?

May 14, 20186 yr Author comment_549252 That's exactly what is means. Doesn't really drop to the floor on its own. Just no resistance when pressing down. Pedal does return to the top. I bought the car with a seized engine and got that going . Next was the brake system need attention. I replaced calipers pads rotors and drums ,wheel cylinders ,shoes and hardware. Not sure what else you need.

May 14, 20186 yr Author comment_549259 I don't understand your point? I'm here for help Zed. You wanted details, I gave them to you. What about the bleed screws? They are all working properly. I bled the system a few times. Pressure, vacuum and manually bled just today.
