1984 Honda Accord, Automatic 1.8L 4cyl.
After driving the car long enough for the breaks to warm up, the front
breaks begin holding. The break pedal gets very firm with no travel
until the car wont go anymore. After the car sits and cools down, the
breaks release.
I have replaced the master cyl, break booster, front pads and
calipers. Bleed the entire system but the same thing still happens.
Any ideas? No fluid is leaking and the breaks work fine until they
heat up from stopping several times or going down a hill. Someone
suggested the proportioning valve. Can this valve cause this
problem? I have contacted all of the local auto parts stores and none
of them sell any proportioning valves 'dealer only'. I have looked up
used ones on ebay and they seem to all have the same connections mine
has, can I use one from any car as long as it has all of the
connections or does it have to be specifically for this car?
ANY suggestions/info will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
