Vehicle is a 2003 Silver Ep3. 77,000+ miles on it
OK story is:
Car was sitting for a year without being driven due to no job/ insurance costs. Jacked front end up, off came the wheels. Pads and rotors on the front were replaced. Only issue I had requiring extensive muscle was with the passenger front rotor securing screws to the hub, but an impact driver took those off. Replaced driver then passenger side. No issues on either side when sliding the piston into the caliper, and no obvious visible leaks of brake fluid throughout entire area under engine, near brake bleeders ect. Again NO visible spots of fluid anywhere. Took the car for a test drive down the street doing 20MPHs. Pedal went straight down to the floor. I have a pedal while the vehicle is sitting without running. A friend told me maybe a vacuum line was messed up, but i checked all vacuum lines including the lines from the brake booster. No lines split, cracked rusted ect. Nothing looks out of place. Not to sure what could be the cause but i guess i might have to check a shop out for the brake booster,or master cylender bc i do not want to do that in the driveway.
Things i KNOW for certain:
All bolts are secure.
No fluid was leaking.
Everything was lubed up properly. (slide caliper bolts)
Brake fluid in master is maxed.
No visible vacuum lines rusted throu, broken, damaged in any way.
No visible damage to brake lines.
