Hi all,

I have a weird problem with the breaks on my Integra. It happens only
sometimes. When it happens it seems as there is air in the system since my
foot goes into the floor when I break and I need to pump the pedal to get
pressure back. The weird thing is that the problem can go away next day and
not appear for months. The break fluid reservoir is nearly full and the
level hasn't changed... Any ideas?

Thanks,
/MM

Your master cylinder needs to be looked at. Soon!

Thanks guys,

Any idea on how much this will cost to fix?

Think I paid ~100$ for parts, but I do all my own work.
