Won't build air pressure?????

[hellrayzor1]

HI ALL!!

Well I just replaced all my wheel cylinders and master cylinder , bled the brakes and was all happy I now have a brake pedal that doesn't just flop to the floor. Halfway down it gets solid like it should . BUT......now I don't get any air pressure and there is air flowing out of the vent by the air cleaner. What did I do???? Is it something to do with the airpack? Any ideas what to look at first?? It got great air pressure pretty quick when the master cylinder was dry and dead.

Thanks, Mark (Not a total deuce newbie anymore )

There is a governor on the firewall right next to the air filter. Is the air comming from the vent hole on the governor?

The air is coming out of the vent line that the master cylinder vent is also connected to. Its a metal line that comes up the firewall next to the air cleaner.

did you rebuild your air pack? if their is a problem in it (like the error in the tm), it can cause air and brake fluid to come out that vent

I didn't rebuild the air pack, got in a hurry and didnt want to wait for the rebuild kit. Guess I should have ordered it to begin with, now more delays. Thanks for the advice, I will pull it out tonite and tear it apart and see what may be the problem.


Thanks , Mark

cool deal on a problem getting solved without a bigger hammer. when you go to do the rebuild MAKE SURE that you read and understand the stickies about the error in the TM. don't ask me how i know.
