OK I have a problem that started about 2 weeks ago and I cant figure it out.
He's whats up. When the car is in reverse the brakes work normal. In forward gears they work fine some times and other times its like I'm standing on a brick...hard as a rock and car wont hardly stop.
I'll list some things that are happening that I have considered but that I think just add conjecture; I dont really think they are realted.
1. My line lock stopped working during a rewire job and I never found the bad wire so I re wired it and this time (unlike the way its been for 2 years) I added a relay to the linelock setup. When I was done the relay and line locks worked but I had this problem that I mentioned in the opening of the post. I assumed I had a wire grouding intermitently causing the line lock to close and not allowing the fluid past thus explaining hard pedal.
So this weekend I replace both line locks, the relay, and all the wiring. Still does the same crap! I'm using the cruise control button of course ( I'm the inventer of that..lol) so to make sure some was not bad in the button/steering wheel, today I unplugged the realy completely giving no power at all to the solenoids to make sure there was not a grounding issue going on inside the wheel there and still the same problem even with them completely unplugged. Remember these are 2 new solenoids too.
2. My tune has traction controll turned off yet for some reason the traction "little car" shows up in the dash all the time . But this tune has been on the car for a few weeks and the brakes have been fine.
3. Cam lowered vacuum to 11-9" of vacuum...but again they have been working fine with the cams and the tune.
4. I ammue if I had pinched a line the braked would be hard or soft all the time.
5. I assume if the booster was going out the pedal would be soft...or is that wrong...maybe hard..
6. I hard checked vaccum lines to the booster and the seem fine.
Fluid is fine.
7. Brake were bleed even thought they really did not need it.
Its a dang trip guys....I wont drive the car on the highway...just down the street...go 5 mph...push the brakes works fine...30 seconds later do the same thing...and its like a rock and I almost hit the neighbors mail box...
This one has me stumped guys.
...and why would it work fine in reverse and intermittent in forward...
I have an idea what could be up but waiting to hear from others that might know.
An intermittent brake problem is not something I look forward to at 135 mph.
