Brake system is driving me crazy......

I don't kno if you remember me from when i was tryin to fix my ABS...... and when i replaced with 1 from one the online car parts sites..... my mechanic said that when he was tryin to bleed the system.......for some reason the brake fluid is not getting to the pump from 1 of the lines. So he's thinking that the master cylinder or brake booster might be out also.

I know ya'll are all big car experts... any advice you could give me would be great.

THanks

uh...whatchootalkin'boutwillis?

the fluid is not getting from where to what?

all i could gather form your post is that you're trying to bleed your brake system. what is it that you replaced and why?

if you're bleeding the entire system (i.e. at the calipers/drums) have you de-energized the abs block by removing all the electrical connections t it?

OK.....here's the deal

Last weekend I replaced my ABS pump/unit in my 92 se. The old one was leaking brake fluid. So when my mechanic was bleeding out the system, he said 1 of the brake lines was not releasing any brake fluid.

But here's the problem.....when i had the old pump it, I never had this problem. I'm not exactly sure wut to do or how to diagnose an ABS pump.

Anyone have any ideas.....

Thanks

sounds like the master cylinder's vapor locked, so to speak. try to use a pressure bleeder on the master cylinder to force fluid through all the lines, instead of just pumping at the pedal and waiting for it to go.
