I was driving and the ABS brake line came on than the brake pedal went to the floor. I checked the fluid and the level is high. When I start the car the pedal feels high again but once I start driving it goes to the floor. Any ideas?????


Its a 95 Lt1 Z28 auto with about 156k miles on it.
Thanks

Classic symptoms of a Master Cylinder that is shot.
Replace or get rebuilt.

Thanks for the reply, any idea how much it would cost to Replace?

muggzi

from the dealer they run $250 to $300 (and come with a warranty).

Okay, the shop told me it was the abs system. My question is can I just remove it because they want $800 to replace it with a used one?

muggzi

you should just be able to remove it, and replace with anew one from thedealer..... But I have never done it so don't take my word.
Phone a Dealer and get a price including Labour.

Dude ... you just wacked your credibility in the pooper ...
