2.0L Zetec
Auto transmission
Here's the problem, I just installed my cold air intake last night. Got everything complete, put everything 'mechanical' back together as it should be. I left the aesthetic stuff off, just for the test run. I drove it around the block, and I noticed that the brake pedal is 'pulsating' for some odd reason. It wasn't doing this before I put the CAI on. I just replaced my rotors with OE rotors (were replaced before the CAI was installed, along with new pads.) It only happens whenever I'm accelerating. When keeping throttle at one point, it doesn't do it. When I start to brake it doesn't do it. I have good pressure on the pedal when braking, and I brake fine. I checked fluid level, and I could use some, but it's not necessary. I will buy some fluid whenever I go by the auto parts store. Any ideas what may have caused this, or what may be the problem? I did hit the master cylinder a few times while installing the CAI, but I don't think I hit it enough to cause this, as it was more like a tap coming from the intake tubing.
