I have a E0 SVT Contour. Ever since I bought it, the brake pedal doesn't do much to stop the car until the pedal gets really close to the floor. I have flushed the brake system with a power bleeder and the conventional pedal pumping method. I've run about 4 quarts of fluid through the entire system, and it's not really gotten any better. The brakes work well, but not until the pedal is about half way to the floor.
At some point prior to me purchasing the car, someone removed the ABS system from the car. The ABS module has been removed and bypassed. The master cylinder on the car has four ports on it. I've only ever seen master cylinders on CSVT's with 2 ports. From doing some research, it seems that the 4 port master cylinder came on cars without ABS. I guess someone thought they needed that since they were removing the ABS.
Any idea what could be causing this? I'm thinking of trying a different master cylinder this weekend and see if that fixes the problem.
On the rear brakes, where the hose meets the hard line, there is a cylinder-shaped thing a couple inches long. Any idea what this is?
Thanks in advance!
